Patent attributes
An improved living area estimation system is described herein that can control and/or use data obtained by a residential robotic device that operates within a structure to estimate the living area. In particular, a residential robotic device may navigate along a predetermined or dynamically-determined route on one floor of the structure. As the residential robotic device travels along the route, the residential robotic device can use one or more sensors to track the area covered. The living area estimation system can obtain a traversed area map directly or indirectly from the residential robotic device, use image processing techniques to enhance the traversed area map, and estimate a living area of a floor on which the residential robotic device operated using the enhanced traversed area map. The living area estimation system can then use artificial intelligence and the estimated floor living area to estimate the living area of a structure.
