COMMERCIAL ROBOT RUN TIME OPTIMIZATION USING ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE METHOD

Abstract:

A processor maps a plurality of obstructions in a space to generate a map of obstructions, where the obstructions comprise data related to temporary obstacles during an operation of the commercial robot, and where the space comprises from a plurality of macro locations. The processor detects foot traffic and obstruction abnormalities in each of the plurality of macro locations from the map of obstructions. The processor compiles a correlation matrix from a set of feature vectors, wherein the set of feature vectors derived from the map of obstructions in the space. The processor determines a minimum duration time and a weekday for each of the plurality of macro locations based on the correlation matrix, where the minimum duration time is an optimum time and a weekday to dispatch the commercial robot in each of the plurality of macro locations.
