1. An asset inventorying method, comprising:

  • moving a mobile vehicle along a trajectory in a facility, the mobile vehicle having at least one sensor;

    as the mobile vehicle moves along the trajectory, using the sensor to collect information relating to one or more assets in the facility that come into proximity with the mobile vehicle, the collected information defining one or more shapes associated with each asset that is in proximity to the mobile vehicle;

    transmitting the information collected by the sensor to a processor;

    the processor creating a current mapping of the identity and location of the one or more assets in the facility using information relating to the trajectory and the collected information including the defined one or more shapes; and

    wherein the processor creates a time-evolved, overlapping set of the defined shapes for each asset sensed by the sensor based on the collected information received from the mobile vehicle, the processor using the time-evolved, overlapping set of the defined shapes to determine a most-likely location of the corresponding asset in the current mapping.
