Claim 19:
20. The method of claim 19:
further comprising:
for a first inventory structure in the set of inventory structures:
estimating a first traversal duration for the mobile robotic system to traverse the first inventory structure and capture a first set of images that depict product units occupying the first inventory structure within a target resolution range;
estimating a first data size of the first set of images; and
estimating a first upload duration for the mobile robotic system to upload the first set of images to a remote computer system via the first wireless network based on the first data size and the wireless connectivity map;

for a second inventory structure in the set of inventory structures:
estimating a second traversal duration for the mobile robotic system to traverse the second inventory structure and capture a second set of images that depict product units occupying the second inventory structure within the target resolution range;
estimating a second data size of the second set of images; and
estimating a second upload duration for the mobile robotic system to upload the second set of images to the remote computer system via the first wireless network based on the second data size and the wireless connectivity map; and

detecting wireless connectivity failure proximal a third inventory structure, in the set of inventory structures, based on the wireless connectivity map; and

wherein calculating the route that aligns wireless network connectivity requirements for autonomous operation of the robotic system to wireless network connectivity represented in the wireless connectivity map comprises
in response to the first upload duration exceeding the first traversal duration and in response to the second traversal duration exceeding the second upload duration:
locating traversal of the first inventory structure before traversal of the second inventory structure along the route; and
scheduling upload of a subset of the first set of images from the mobile robotic system to the remote computer system during traversal of the second inventory structure by the mobile robotic system during the scan cycle; and

in response to detecting wireless connectivity failure proximal the third inventory structure, excluding traversal of the third inventory structure from the route.
