Claim 18:
19. A method for deploying a mobile robotic system to scan inventory within a store, the method comprising:
deploying the robotic system to autonomously navigate through the store during a mapping cycle;
accessing a spatial map generated based on depth data captured by the robotic system during the mapping cycle;
accessing a wireless connectivity map generated based on connectivity data of a wireless network captured by the robotic system during the mapping cycle;
defining a set of image capture parameters along inventory structures in the store based on inventory structure representations detected in the spatial map;
estimating wireless network connectivity requirements to upload images captured by the robotic system according to the set of image capture parameters along inventory structures in the store;
detecting, in the wireless connectivity map, a particular region in the store exhibiting wireless network connectivity below a threshold connectivity;
calculating a route, along inventory structures in the store, that aligns wireless network connectivity requirements for autonomous operation of the robotic system to wireless network connectivity represented in the wireless connectivity map and that excludes the particular region in the store; and
scheduling the robotic system to execute a scan cycle in the store according to the route and the set of image capture parameters.
