System and Method for Preventing Depletion of a Robotic Energy Source

A method to prevent depletion of a robotic energy source, comprising:

• monitoring, by a server operably connected to a mobile robot via a communication system, the server configured to manage the robot, an energy level of an energy source configured to provide energy to the robot;
• finding, by the server, a critical energy level comprising an energy level at which replenishment of the energy source begins;
• determining, by the server, a low-energy sign indicating that the robot has low energy, the low-energy sign comprising a critical disruption of the communication system;
• allowing, by the server, monitoring, by a controller operably connected to the robot, the controller operably connected to the server, of a status of the communication system for the critical disruption, the controller configured to control the robot, the controller further configured to monitor an energy level of the robot, the controller located inside the robot;
• and
• sending, by the server, based on the low energy sign, a replenishment message to the controller, the controller operably connected to the server, the replenishment message ordering the robot to do one or more of reduce its activity and shut down.
