A process of using an automated machine to survey real property, the real property being the subject of a real property transaction, the process comprising the steps of:
- a user making a request to a service provider for a placement of an automated machine to perform a survey within the real property;
- the service provider receiving from the user a set of data describing the real property;
- the service provider selecting a property type that applies to the real property as described in the set of data describing the real property;
- the service provider programming the automated machine with at least one parameter related to the property type selected;
- the service provider arranging to have the automated machine transported to the real property and then the user receiving the automated machine having instructions for operating the automated machine and the user placing the automated machine into the real property;
- the automated machine performing a survey of the real property by the automated machine moving throughout the real property;
- the automated machine acquiring surveyed data related to the real property via a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors providing input to the automated machine;
- the automated machine recording the surveyed data that is input to the automated machine by the plurality of sensors;
- the automated machine processing the surveyed data such that the surveyed data is capable of being presented onto a display.
