Original Abstract Submitted

A method is disclosed for improving a mobile robot that is configured to perform a task in an environment using an operating procedure. Data is received that was recorded by the mobile robot using one or more sensors as the mobile robot navigates the environment to perform the task. A database and/or a model associated with the environment is updated to incorporate the recorded data. The operating procedure of the mobile robot can be modified, based on the database and/or the model, to generate a modified operating procedure for performing the task in the environment that improves a performance of the mobile robot. Additionally, a recommendation for improving the performance of the mobile robot when performing the task in the environment can be determined, based on the database and/or the model, and displayed to a user for consideration.
