1. A system for monitoring operation of an autonomous robot comprising:

  • a server;

    an external device having a display and a transceiver for receiving data from the server;

    an autonomous robot comprising a housing, a control system comprising a location tracking unit, a memory device, a transceiver for transmitting signals to the server, and a central processing unit;

    the central processing unit configured to;

    (1) define a perimeter of an area of confinement within the memory device;

    (2) transmit, via the transceiver of the autonomous robot, first data indicative of the perimeter of the area of confinement to the server; and

    (3) transmit, via the transceiver of the autonomous robot, second data indicative of a location of the autonomous robot within the area of confinement to the server based on output generated by the location tracking unit, wherein the second data is transmitted while the autonomous robot is performing a task within the area of confinement;

    the server configured to transmit the first data indicative of the perimeter of the area of confinement and the second data indicative of the location of the autonomous robot within the area of confinement to the external device; and

    wherein upon receipt of the first and second data by the external device, a visual representation of a status of a work session of the autonomous robot at a point in time T1 during the work session is displayed on the display of the external device.
