1. A system comprising:
a self-propelled robotic vehicle comprising a wireless interface configured to receive a mode control signal wirelessly from a remote user; and an UWB sensor configured to change operating modes responsive to successive binary transitions of the mode control signal, wherein the UWB sensor is configured to operate over a first range and over a second range shorter than the first range, and wherein the UWB sensor further comprises a microprocessor configured to control the UWB sensor to operate over the first range responsive to a single binary transition of the mode control signal and to operate over the second range responsive to two binary transitions of the mode control signal.
