1. A method comprising:

  • identifying, by a robot, first and second pluralities of sensor data points that are generated during operation of the robot while the robot performs one or more tasks, wherein the first plurality of sensor data points share a first attribute and the second plurality of sensor data points share a second attribute that is different than the first attribute, and wherein the sensor data points are generated by one or more cameras integral with the robot or one or more light sensors integral with the robot;

    tagging, by the robot, each of the identified first plurality of sensor data points with a first tag, wherein the first tag is indicative of the first attribute shared by the first plurality of sensor data points;

    tagging, by the robot, each of the identified second plurality of sensor data points with a second tag, wherein the second tag is indicative of the second attribute shared by the second plurality of sensor data points, and wherein the second tag also indicates a lower priority than the first tag;

    identifying, by the robot, a context in which the robot is operating;

    identifying, by the robot, a first transport rule that governs how sensor data points tagged with the first tag are treated when the robot operates in the context;

    identifying, by the robot, a second transport rule that governs how sensor data points tagged with the second tag are treated when the robot operates in the context;

    offloading, by the robot to a remote computing device via a network connection, at least a subset of the first plurality of tagged sensor data points pursuant to the first transport rule, wherein the offloading comprises transmitting at least the subset of the first plurality of tagged sensor data points to the remote computing device in a manner selected based on the context in which the robot is operating; and

    overwriting, by the robot, at least a subset of the second plurality of tagged sensor data points pursuant to the second transport rule.
