A method for operating a mobile robot system, the mobile robot system including a mobile robot configured to perform a task in an environment using an operating procedure, the method comprising:

• receiving first data that was recorded by the mobile robot at least in part using at least one sensor as the mobile robot navigates the environment to perform the task;
• updating at least one of a database and a model associated with the environment to incorporate the first data;
• modifying the operating procedure, based on the at least one of the database and the model, to generate a modified operating procedure for performing the task in the environment that improves a performance of the mobile robot;
• and
• providing the modified operating procedure to the mobile robot, the mobile robot being configured to perform the task in the environment again using the modified operating procedure.
