Automated robot alert system

A method for generating an alert associated with activity of a mobile robot, the method comprising:

• receiving contextualized sensor data from the mobile robot via a network, wherein the contextualized sensor data comprises status data including connectivity status data of the mobile robot and location data representing locations of the mobile robot corresponding to the connectivity status data;
• accessing staff member data associated with each of a plurality of staff members from a staff member database;
• accessing a set of stored alert rules, wherein a rule specifies alert criteria for triggering the alert associated with a target staff member of the plurality of staff members;
• determining if the contextualized sensor data meets the alert criteria associated with the target staff member by performing steps comprising:
• determining, based on the connectivity status data and the location data, a first location corresponding to a loss of connectivity of the mobile robot to the network based on the connectivity status data;
• determining, based on the connectivity status data and the location data, a second location corresponding to a reconnection of the mobile robot to the network;
• determining based on historical location data prior to the loss of connectivity that the robot did not finish cleaning a room corresponding to the first location prior to being moved to the second location;
• and
• determining that the contextualized sensor data meets the alert criteria responsive to determining that the mobile robot did not finish cleaning the room;
• responsive to determining that the contextualized sensor data meets the alert criteria for the target staff member, generating an alert for the target staff member;
• and
• transmitting the alert to a client device associated with the target staff member.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for generating an alert associated with activity of a mobile robot, the instructions when executed by a processor causing the processor to perform steps including:

• receiving contextualized sensor data from the mobile robot via a network, wherein the contextualized sensor data comprises humidity data obtained by the mobile robot, an identifier for a room where the humidity data was captured by the robot, and location data comprising locations in the room where the humidity data was captured;
• accessing staff member data associated with each of a plurality of staff members from a staff member database;
• accessing a set of stored alert rules, wherein a rule specifies alert criteria for triggering the alert associated with a target staff member of the plurality of staff members;
• determining if the contextualized sensor data meets the alert criteria associated with the target staff member by performing steps including:
• determining, from the location data and the humidity data, a wet area of the room where the humidity data exceeds a predefined threshold;
• obtaining a map of the room including locations of possible sources of leaks;
• comparing the wet area of the room to the map to determine if the wet area is within a proximity threshold to one of the possible sources of leaks;
• and
• determining that the contextualized sensor data meets the alert criteria responsive to the wet area meeting being within the proximity threshold;
• responsive to determining that the contextualized sensor data meets the alert criteria for the target staff member, generating an alert for the target staff member;
• and
• transmitting the alert to a client device associated with the target staff member.
