Abstract
A method for constraining movements of a robot comprises: obtaining digitally stored dynamic building data describing a set of one or more temporary conditions, the dynamic building data comprising, for each temporary condition of the set of one or more temporary conditions, a location of the temporary condition and a description of the temporary location; updating, from the dynamic building data, digital cost data associated with one or more features of a digital map by calculating, for each temporary condition of the set of one or more temporary conditions, an increased cost of navigation associated with the location of the temporary condition; in response to receiving a task that is associated with a destination location, determining a route of the robot to the destination location using the digital map based in part upon the location of each temporary condition and the increased cost associated with the location, the route not including at least a location of a particular temporary condition of the set of one or more temporary conditions; causing the robot to traverse to the destination location using the route.
