Abstract: One variation of a method includes: accessing an image captured by a robotic system autonomously navigating throughout a facility; identifying a slot on an inventory structure based on a location of a shelf tag, including a first product identifier, in the image; and detecting an object within the slot. In response to the object differing from a first template image associated with the first product identifier: interpreting absence of a first product type associated with the first product identifier in the slot; and detecting an adjacent shelf tag, including a second product identifier, arranged on the inventory structure in the image. In response to the object corresponding to a second template image associated with the second product identifier, confirming presence of the second product type in the slot; generating a report indicating detection of a stocking error event; and transmitting the report to a facility associate.

Abstract: One variation of a method includes: receiving a first image captured by a mobile device in a back-of-store inventory region of a store; identifying a product type represented in the first image; accessing a second image of an inventory structure in a customer region of the store, the second image captured by a mobile robotic system traversing aisles of the store during a scan cycle; based on features extracted from the second image and the set of point-of-sale data, predicting a first quantity of product units of the product type loaded in the slot; and, in response to the first quantity of product units falling below a threshold quantity, generating a prompt to deliver a second quantity of product units from the back-of-store inventory structure to the slot in the inventory structure in the customer region of the store; and transmitting the prompt to the mobile device.

Abstract: One variation of a method for tracking promotional states of slots in inventory structures within a store includes: accessing an image of an inventory structure within a store; detecting a shelf tag on the inventory structure in the image; extracting a set of features from the shelf tag detected in the image; detecting a promotional tag on the inventory structure in the image; extracting a set of features from the promotional tag detected in the image; detecting a deviation between the shelf tag and the promotional tag based on a difference between the sets of features; and, in response to detecting the deviation between the shelf tag and the promotional tag, identifying the first promotional tag as erroneous, and notifying a store associate to replace the first promotional tag with a second promotional tag at the first slot, the second promotional tag correcting the difference.
