Systems and methods for servicing a data center using autonomous vehicle

A method for servicing a data center using an autonomous vehicle (AV), comprising:

• receiving, by the AV, a task to perform within the data center, wherein the data center comprises a plurality of servers associated with a plurality of enterprise organizations, a first type of movable barrier indicating access to a zone accessible by the AV, a second type of movable barrier indicating a zone that is inaccessible by the AV, and a third type of movable barrier that receives an item of the task from the AV;
• navigating, by the AV, from an initial location within the data center to a new location within the data center along a path extending through a portion of the data center, the path being determined automatically;
• and
• while navigating the path and in response to encountering one of the movable barriers disposed along the path, performing, by the AV, a procedure to bypass the movable barrier wherein performing the procedure comprises:
• determining a response based on whether the movable barrier is the first type of movable barrier, the second type of movable barrier, or the third type of movable barrier.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed by one or more controllers, facilitate:

• receiving a task to perform within a data center, wherein the data center comprises a plurality of servers associated with a plurality of enterprise organizations, a first type of movable barrier indicating access to a zone accessible by the AV, a second type of movable barrier indicating a zone that is inaccessible by the AV, and a third type of movable barrier that receives an item of the task from the AV;
• navigating an AV from an initial location within the data center to a new location within the data center along a path extending through a portion of the data center, the path being determined automatically;
• and
• while navigating the path and in response to encountering one of the movable barriers disposed along the path, performing a procedure to bypass the movable wherein performing the procedure comprises:
• determining a response based on whether the movable barrier is the first type of movable barrier, the second type of movable barrier, or the third type of movable barrier.
