Claim 3:
4. The method of claim 1:
wherein recording the photographic image and the thermal image of the temperature-controlled unit comprises recording the photographic image and the thermal image of the temperature-controlled unit comprising an open temperature-controlled unit in the store; and
further comprising:
at the robotic system, during the first scan cycle:
autonomously navigating toward an enclosed temperature-controlled unit in the store;
recording a second photographic image of the enclosed temperature-controlled unit; and
recording a set of temperature values wirelessly transmitted by a set of temperature-enabled transmitters coupled to the enclosed temperature-controlled unit;

identifying a second set of products stocked in the enclosed temperature-controlled unit based on features detected in the second photographic image;
accessing locations of the set of temperature-enabled transmitters coupled to the enclosed temperature-controlled unit;
mapping the set of temperature values received from the set of temperature-enabled transmitters to the second set of products during the first scan cycle based on:
locations of the set of temperature-enabled transmitters coupled to the enclosed temperature-controlled unit; and
locations of the set of products identified in the second photographic image; and

generating a second record of temperatures of the second set of products stocked in the enclosed temperature-controlled unit during the first scan cycle.
