Systems and methods for surveying a manufacturing environment

A system for surveying an environment, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a nontransitory computer-readable medium including instructions that are executable by the processor, wherein the instructions include:
• segmenting a plurality of nodes into a plurality of communities based on a first traversability score and a second traversability score of one or more edges disposed between each node of the plurality of nodes, wherein each community from among the plurality of communities includes a set of nodes from among the plurality of nodes, and wherein the first traversability score is indicative of a traversability of a carrier robot along each edge of the one or more edges and the second traversability score is indicative of a traversability of a drone along each edge of the one or more edges;
• identifying a plurality of community centroids based on the plurality of communities, wherein each community centroid from among the plurality of community centroids corresponds to a respective community from among the plurality of communities;
• determining, for each community centroid from among the plurality of community centroids, a community type based on a distance between the community centroid and one or more charging stations;
• generating a plurality of intercommunity routes based on the plurality of community centroids, the one or more charging stations, the community type, and one or more performance constraints;
• and
• deploying the carrier robot or the drone to move according to the plurality of intercommunity routes and to perform a surveying routine about the plurality of intercommunity routes, wherein the carrier robot is deployed in response to a value of the first traversability score exceeding a value of the second traversability score, and wherein the drone is deployed in response to the value of the second traversability score exceeding the value of the first traversability score.
