Shiiping outside will happen for sure.

In terms of size, it's ~1x1 feet and far smaller than some of the docks that come with disc bots these days.

The reason for 1 feet height is that we are giving it a same top-down vantage point that we humans have. Flat designs will give ant-like vantage point which makes seeing what's in front it rather hard.

Human like vantage point also means it builds maps that both the robot and humans can easily understand and recognize all the objects. Thanks!
