Patent ID: 8396591

Claim:
A method for data collection and analysis using robotic devices comprising: creating a map of a facility; loading at least one position and at least one task onto a robotic device; autonomously navigating the robotic device to the at least one position to collect data; controlling the at least one position and the at least one task of the robotic device in real-time to collect the data; sending the data to a database for storage; processing and analyzing the data by a server; and presenting analysis of the data to a user, wherein the processing and analyzing the data by a server comprises: retrieving at least one measurement from the database; retrieving at least one position information for each of the at least one measurement from the database; determining an air flow speed based on the at least one measurement and the at least one position information; and determining an air flow direction based on the at least one measurement and the at least one position information.
