==MANAGING A FLEET OF ROBOTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053768 titled 'MANAGING A FLEET OF ROBOTS

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a computer-implemented system for managing a fleet of autonomous mobile robots in a facility by analyzing characteristics of communication cycle times between the system and the robots to identify inadequate or deficient locations, times of day, or equipment used in the communication process.

* The system maintains a log of cycle times of communications between the system and the autonomous mobile robots in the fleet over time.
* An analysis component determines locations, times of day, or equipment that are inadequate or deficient based on the logged characteristics of the cycle times.
* Each communication cycle involves wireless transmission of test signals to the robots and receipt of responses from each robot in the fleet.

== Potential Applications ==
- Logistics and warehouse management
- Manufacturing automation
- Security patrol in large facilities

== Problems Solved ==
- Efficient management of a fleet of autonomous mobile robots
- Identification of communication bottlenecks in a facility
- Optimization of robot deployment and operation

== Benefits ==
- Improved operational efficiency
- Enhanced productivity
- Cost savings through optimized resource allocation


==Original Abstract Submitted==

methods, systems, and non-transitory machine-readable media encoding instructions for managing a fleet of autonomous mobile robots in a facility. in one aspect, a computer-implemented system for managing a fleet of autonomous mobile robots in a facility can include a log of characteristics of cycle times of communications between the system and the autonomous mobile robots in the fleet over time, and an analysis component configured to determine, based on the logged characteristics of the cycle times, i) a location in a facility at which or ii) a time of day during which or iii) equipment used in communications between the system and the autonomous mobile robots in the plurality that are either inadequate or deficient. each communications cycle includes wireless transmission of test signals to a plurality of the autonomous mobile robots in the fleet and receipt of responses to the test signals transmitted wirelessly from each of the autonomous mobile robots in the plurality.
