Abstract: Embodiments of a robotic inventory system are provided that include a mobile robot for inventorying an inventory area, such as store or warehouse. The mobile robot can move through the inventory area collecting data from tagged items (e.g., RFID tags). Based on the collected data, the robotic inventory system can determine the items in the inventory area and the location of those items. In some embodiments, no additional infrastructure is needed for the installation of the robotic inventory system. This can allow, for example, the inventorying system to be shipped to an end customer and used by the end customer without having a professional installer setup the robot and/or the inventorying system.
