Disclosed autonomous mobile robot systems can be used to safely and efficiently navigate through a facility while avoiding objects in the path of the autonomous mobile robot during completion of a task. Specifically, a safety zone of a first size may be generated around an autonomous mobile robot based at least in part on first data from a first set of sensors associated with the autonomous mobile robot that are configured to identify an object within the safety zone. Information indicating a current speed of the autonomous mobile robot from associated propulsion components may be received and utilized to update the first size and a shape of the safety zone. Instructions to cease propulsion of the autonomous mobile robot may be transmitted to the propulsion components based on first data identifying the object within the updated first size of the safety zone.
