12. 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 transceiver for transmitting signals to the server, and a central processing unit; the central processing unit configured to transmit, via the transceiver of the autonomous robot, data indicative of a location of the autonomous robot within an area of confinement to the server based on output generated by the location tracking unit, wherein the data is transmitted while the autonomous robot is performing a task within the area of confinement; the server configured to transmit the data indicative of the location of the autonomous robot within the area of confinement to the external device; and wherein upon receipt of the data indicative of the location of the autonomous robot within the area of confinement 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. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
