Collaborative inventory monitoring

A robotic device, comprising a control system, wherein the control system is configured to:

• cause the robotic device to transport a load from a first location to a second location in an environment;
• while the robotic device is transporting the load from the first location to the second location in the environment, make a determination to verify contents of the load using a sensor in the environment, wherein the sensor is separate from the robotic device;
• in response to making the determination, cause the robotic device to transport the load within a field of view of the sensor before transporting the load to the second location;
• and
• use sensor data from the sensor in the environment to verify the contents of the load.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions executable by at least one processor to perform functions comprising:

• causing a robotic device to transport a load from a first location to a second location in an environment;
• while the robotic device is transporting the load from the first location to the second location in the environment, making a determination to verify contents of the load using a sensor in the environment, wherein the sensor is separate from the robotic device;
• in response to making the determination, causing the robotic device to transport the load within a field of view of the sensor before transporting the load to the second location;
• and
• using sensor data from the sensor in the environment to verify the contents of the load.
