Patent ID: 8886390

Claim:
A system for managing and prioritizing for action fleets of mobile robots deployed at various locations, the system comprising: a plurality of homebase servers, each corresponding to a different location, wherein each of the homebase servers receives operational parameter data from a plurality of mobile robots operating at a particular location; and a central server receiving the operational parameter data from the plurality of homebase servers, the central server including a data analysis module processing the operational parameter data and prioritizing the mobile robots operating at the various locations based on the operational parameter data of each mobile robot using a set of business rules that are location and mobile robot specific; and wherein the operational parameter data comprises information regarding operational and navigational issues experienced by the mobile robot; and wherein each of the mobile robots are prioritized relative to each of the other mobile robots at the various locations based on a severity of operational and navigational issues experienced by each of the mobile robots; wherein the data analysis module provides a prioritized list that ranks the mobile robots in order of severity based on the operational parameter data to a display associated with the data analysis module.
