Abstract:

Techniques and systems are described for generating and using a sound localization model. A described technique includes obtaining for a building a sound sensor map indicating locations of first and second sound sensor devices in respective first and second rooms of the building; causing an autonomous device to navigate to the first room and to emit, during a time window, sound patterns at one or more frequencies within the first room; receiving sound data including first and second sound data respectively from the first and second sound sensor devices that are observed during the time window; and generating and storing a sound localization model based on the sound sensor map, autonomous device location information, and the received sound data, the model being configured to compensate for how sounds travels among rooms in at least a portion of the building such that an origin room of a sound source is identifiable.

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a storage device, for using a drone to monitor a community. The drone may include a processor and a storage device storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations may include receiving an instruction to deploy based on a determination, by a community monitoring system that an event was detected at a property of the community, navigating towards the property along an initial navigation path, obtaining local monitoring system data from a local monitoring system of a property of the community, generating based on the local monitoring system data a navigational model that identifies a location of each of one or more surveillance objectives, determining an adjusted navigation path to a location of a surveillance objective of the one or more surveillance objectives, and navigating along the adjusted navigation path.

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a storage device, for accommodating unattended services at a property. In one aspect, a monitoring system is disclosed that includes a processor and a storage device storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The operations can include receiving a request to enter the property to perform the unattended service, configuring the monitoring system to allow access to a first portion of the property associated with the unattended service without triggering an alarm event, obtaining image data of the property after the monitoring system is configured to allow access to the first portion of the property, determining, based on the obtained image data, that an unattended service provider has entered into a second, different portion of the property, and triggering an alarm event.
