Systems and methods for tracking and scoring cleaning
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for tracking and scoring robot or machine performance. The robot or machine performance may comprise a metric that can be computed based on operational data for the robot or machine.
1. A method, comprising:
(a) detecting, by one or more sensors operably coupled to one or more robots or machines, operational data for the one or more robots or machines and/or one or more components of the one or more robots or machines, wherein the operational data is categorized into one or more factors;
(b) computing a metric for one or more operations or procedures performed by the one or more robots or machines, based at least in part on (i) one or more weights corresponding to the one or more factors and (ii) the operational data for the one or more robots or machines and/or the one or more components of the one or more robots or machines; and
(c) generating one or more recommendations for controlling the one or more operations or procedures performed by the one or more robots or machines, based at least in part on the metric.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more operations or procedures are performed autonomously, semi-autonomously, or non-autonomously by the one or robots or machines and/or an operator or administrator of the one or more robots or machines.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more operations or procedures are performed with aid of one or more inputs from an operator or an administrator of the one or more robots or machines.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more operations or procedures comprise a cleaning operation.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the metric comprises a clean score.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the clean score is computed based on an area cleaned by the one or more robots or machines.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the clean score is computed based on a time spent to clean the area.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the clean score is computed based on a cleaning area goal set by an operator or an administrator of the one or more robots or machines.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the clean score is computed based on a time goal set by a user or an administrator of the one or more robots or machines.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the clean score is computed based on a ratio of the area cleaned and the cleaning area goal.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the clean score is computed based on a ratio of the time spent and the time goal.
12. The method of claim 5 , wherein the clean score is computed based on the one or more factors corresponding to a cleaning area or a cleaning time.
13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a report based at least in part on the operational data or the metric computed using the operational data.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the report tracks changes in the metric over time.
15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising providing the report to an operator or an administrator of the one or more robots or machines via a mobile application or a web application.
16. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing the metric to an operator or an administrator of the one or more robots or machines via a graphical user interface (GUI).
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the GUI is configured to provide a plurality of metrics for a plurality of locations in which the one or more operations or procedures are performed by the one or more robots or machines.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the GUI is configured to provide information on an area cleaned or a time spent cleaning each of the plurality of locations.
19. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying one or more locations that require additional cleaning or a different cleaning routine, based at least in part on the metric.
20. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying a robot or a machine that requires maintenance, servicing, repair, or replacement, based at least in part on the metric.
21. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more weights corresponding to the one or more factors is determined based at least in part on (1) a characteristic or a property of an area being cleaned or (2) the robot or the machine that is used to clean the area.
22. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: providing the one or more recommendations to an operator or an administrator of the one or more robots or machines via a graphical user interface (GUI).
