    Abstract: Methods and systems for obtaining serviceable areas for a robotic system in a metropolitan area are described. A computing device obtains information about places where (i) the system can route to and from in the area and/or (ii) the system can stop in the area. The computing device uses the information to generate clusters of places where the robotic system can route or stop in the metropolitan area. The computing device creates a geometric shape for each cluster, wherein each shape which has a boundary defined by outermost places contained in the cluster. The computing device uses the geometric shapes to define the serviceable areas for the robotic system within the metropolitan area. The computing device uses the serviceable areas to generate a map displaying at least one geographic area representing a portion of the metropolitan area where a concentrated number of the places exist.
