Claim 6:
7. A networked workforce computing system, comprising:
one or more requesting devices;
base station pods housing autonomous machines, the base station pods being provided in a region;
a task management server; and
a processor operatively connected for computer communication to the one or more requesting devices, the autonomous machines, and the task management server over a network, wherein the processor:
receives at least one service request associated with the region from the one or more requesting devices, wherein the region includes a plurality of task areas, each of the plurality of task areas including at least one home, at least one of the plurality of task areas including plurality of sub-task and a plurality of homes with each of the plurality of homes being included in a respective one of the plurality of sub-task areas;
determines a number of tasks to be performed in each of the plurality of task areas from which at least one service request is received based on the at least one service request and evaluation data, wherein the evaluation data is about each of the plurality of task areas and is received over the network; and
for each of the plurality of task areas from which at least one service request is received:
selects a number of autonomous machines and one or more task tools from one or more of the base station pods to fulfill the number of tasks based on at least the number of tasks to be performed and a task area location relative to a location of the base station pods;
controls the selected number of autonomous machines and task tools from the one or more of the base station pods to perform each of the number of tasks; and
electronically analyzes final evaluation data that is associated with a current state of the task area with the evaluation data to determine if each task of the number of tasks has been completed and controls one or more of the task tools to switch to another task of the number of tasks after completion of the task.
