Systems and methods for using robots to monitor environmental conditions in an environment
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- maintaining, by a cloud server, an environmental-condition threshold that corresponds to an environmental condition and is determined based on data corresponding to the environmental condition that is received via a network interface of the cloud server from a plurality of robots, wherein the received data is indicative of measured levels of the environmental condition in respective environments of the plurality of robots;
receiving, via the network interface and from a first robot, first data corresponding to the environmental condition in a first environment of the first robot;
making, by the cloud server, a first comparison of the first data and the environmental-condition threshold; and
based on the first comparison, triggering a notification.

Abstract
Methods and devices are disclosed for monitoring environmental conditions in one or more environments. In one embodiment, the method includes maintaining a plurality of environmental-condition thresholds, each of which corresponds to an environmental condition and is predetermined based on data corresponding to the environmental condition that is received from a plurality of robots. The method further includes receiving from a first robot first data corresponding to a first environmental condition in a first environment. The method may still further include making a first comparison of the first data and a first environmental-condition threshold corresponding to the first environmental condition and, based on the first comparison, triggering a notification. Triggering the notification may comprise transmitting to the robot instructions to transmit the notification to at least one of a call center and a remote device.

7. A cloud server, comprising:
-
a network interface; at least one processor; and data storage comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor to; maintain an environmental-condition threshold that corresponds to an environmental condition and is determined based on data corresponding to the environmental condition that is received via the network interface from a plurality of robots, wherein the received data is indicative of measured levels of the environmental condition in environments of the plurality of robots; receive from a first robot first data corresponding to the environmental condition in a first environment of the first robot; make a first comparison of the first data and the environmental-condition threshold; and based on the first comparison, trigger a notification. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method comprising:
-
receiving, via a network interface of a robot and from a cloud server, an indication of an environmental-condition threshold that corresponds to an environmental condition and is determined based on data corresponding to the environmental condition that is received by the cloud server from a plurality of robots, wherein the received data is indicative of measured levels of the environmental condition in environments of the plurality of robots; obtaining, by the robot, first data corresponding to the environmental condition in a first environment of the robot; making, by the robot, a first comparison of the first data and the environmental-condition threshold; and based on the first comparison, triggering a notification. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
