Abstract
In one embodiment a sensor calibration system includes a robotic platform able to navigate to sensors distributed throughout an environment. The sensors may measure, for example, acoustic levels, temperature, luminance, or humidity. The robotic platform is equipped with at least one set of calibrated sensors and is capable of maneuvering around the environment to respective positions adjacent to the sensors to perform on site calibration. Such proximity also permits recharging power supplies of sensors and download/upload of information to and from the sensor.
