A system for generating a map of a predetermined area comprising:

• a mobile robot comprising:
• a robot body;
• a drive system configured to maneuver the robot body in a predefined area;
• a controller coupled to the drive system, said controller comprising a processor a memory;
• and
• a sensor module in communication with the controller, wherein the sensor module comprises at least one non-optical sensor, configured to gather non-optical data from the predefined area;
• and
• a communication module configured to exchange data with a server or a relay station;
• a docking station configured to serve as a relay station for the robot for exchanging data with a remote server, comprising a processor and a communication module;
• and
• a server configured to receive and process data;
• comprising a processor, a communication module and a memory, wherein said remote server is configured to store the collected data, determine the robot's location and transmit the location to the robot and wherein the server generates a map of the predefined area based on the received data.
