Methods, systems, and devices for mapping wireless communication signals for mobile robot guidance

A method of operating a mobile robot, comprising:

• performing, by a processor of the mobile robot, operations comprising:
• operating a drive to navigate the mobile robot in an operating environment;
• detecting, via at least one localization sensor of the mobile robot, localization data responsive to operating the drive to navigate the mobile robot in the operating environment;
• acquiring, via at least one wireless receiver of the mobile robot, wireless communication signals responsive to operating the drive to navigate the mobile robot in the operating environment, wherein the wireless communication signals are transmitted by at least one electronic device that is local to the operating environment;
• and
• determining a location of the mobile robot in the operating environment based on correlation of the localization data detected by the at least one localization sensor and the wireless communication signals acquired by the at least one wireless receiver.

A method of operating user terminal, comprising:

• performing, by a processor of the user terminal, operations comprising:
• receiving, via a receiver of the user terminal, map information that is based on correlation of localization data detected by a localization sensor of at least one mobile robot in an operating environment thereof and wireless communication signals acquired by a wireless receiver of the at least one mobile robot in the operating environment responsive to navigation of the at least one mobile robot in the operating environment, wherein the wireless communication signals are transmitted by at least one electronic device that is local to the operating environment;
• and
• displaying, via a user interface of the user terminal, one or more visual representations of the map information.
