Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods are directed to providing the mobile robot-assisted thermal monitoring of server racks in a datacenter. The thermal monitoring comprises a plurality of thermal sensors to detect temperature data of each of the server racks, a plurality of power distribution units (PDUs) to detect electrical power consumption of each of the servers, a datacenter operations controller configured to generate a temperature gradient profile over time for each of the server racks, determine a potential anomalous thermal condition of a server rack, and identify the server rack as a point-of-interest (POI). The thermal monitoring further comprises a mobile robot configured to travel to and capture the surface temperature image data of the identified POI server rack based on a provided navigation transit route and the datacenter operations controller updating the temperature gradient profile based on the capture the surface temperature image data.

Abstract: System and method for taking inventory of a plurality of objects within a structure. The method is executed by a controller of an autonomous mobile robot and comprises causing the said robot to navigate through at least a portion of the structure, causing at least one camera of the robot to acquire a plurality of positioning images at a first resolution and determining that at least one positioning image contains an image of a predetermined landmark. In response to determining that the at least one positioning image contains the image of the predetermined landmark, the autonomous mobile robot navigates to a predetermined data collection position, the at least one camera of the autonomous mobile robot acquires at least one inventory image at a second resolution, the second image resolution being greater than the first resolution, and a plurality of inventory labels are extracted from the at least one inventory image.
