From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the following quote: “Autonomous or semi-autonomous robotic devices are increasingly used within consumer homes and commercial establishments. Such devi ces may include a robotic vacuum cleaner, lawn mower, mop, or other similar devi ces. One issue that remains is how that robotic devices often encounter is that the robotic devices become inoperable due to a variety of circumstances thereby requiring the physical intervention on the part of an individual to rectify the issue. For example, if a brush of a robotic cleaner becomes stuck around, for ex ample, an electrical cord, the robotic device may become inoperable as the brush will no longer be able to spin, and an individual must come to detangle the ele ctrical cord from the brush. In another example, brushes of robotic cleaners may become stuck due to becoming entangled with hair or the like and no longer be a ble to spin properly, the individual in turn must come over to detangle the hair from the brush. In other examples a robotic device may become stuck on an unexp ected elevation change, encounter an unexpected dip or the like and an individua l must intervene to assist the robotic device. While it is unavoidable that robo tic devices will encounter issues in the work environment completely, it is pref erable that a robotic device be able to overcome such issues independently. When a robotic device encounters an issue, it may render the robotic device inoperab le which is undesirable as the robotic device may not be able to complete work t asks, and it is further undesirable as it often requires outside assistance for overcoming the issue. A method is needed for a robotic device to be able to over come such issues independently.
