Claim 13:
14. A method of disinfecting an interior space, comprising:
generating a two or three-dimensional map of the interior space using information collected by a sensor system comprising an autonomous, mobile, robotic (AMR) device, and determining from the collected sensor information an identity and location of one or more areas for disinfection;
using the map of the interior space, and the location of the one or more areas identified for disinfection, to determine an optimal path for the AMR device to follow through the interior space in order to disinfect each of the one or more areas identified for disinfection, wherein the optimal path comprises a plurality of nodes;
calculating a dosage of disinfectant to be applied by the AMR device to each of the one or more areas identified for disinfection along the optimal path; and
controlling the AMR device to traverse the optimal path while it applies the calculated dosage of disinfectant to each of the one or more areas, wherein a traversal speed corresponds to the disinfection dosage assigned to an edge, as a weight, that corresponds to the path between two adjacent nodes is determined, and wherein the weight comprises at least a speed of the AMR device and the dosage of disinfectant.
