Abstract: Building systems and methods of performing building maintenance operations are described. The systems include a controller configured to receive requests associated with an elevator system of a building. A database having verification procedures associated with the elevator system is provided and the controller is operable to initiate the verification procedures. A robot is configured in communication with the controller and configured to receive instructions from the controller. The instructions may include a portion of a verification procedure, wherein the robot is configured to perform one or more tasks based on the verification procedure. The robot includes at least one sensor configured to collect sensor data. At least one of the controller and the robot are configured to perform an operation in response to sensor data collected by the robot, with the operation being a determination if the elevator system operation is nominal or if further action is required.

Abstract: Building systems and method of using elevators in buildings are described. The systems include a robot-use elevator system having an elevator car moveable along an elevator shaft of a building, a controller configured to receive requests associated with the elevator system and configured to control operation of the elevator system, and a robot configured in communication with the controller and configured to perform actions within the building, the robot configured to travel within the building in the elevator car. The elevator car is operated using parameters outside limits intended for human use of an elevator car.
