LOCATION-BASED AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION USING A VIRTUAL WORLD SYSTEM

A system, method, autonomous mobile robot, and computer readable media enabling location-based autonomous navigation using a virtual world system. The system comprises at least one server computing device having at least one processor and a memory. The memory stores a virtual world system and computer-readable instructions. The virtual world system comprises at least one virtual object being spatially defined by virtual three-dimensional coordinates that correspond to three-dimensional coordinates of a corresponding physical object in a physical environment. The instructions cause the at least one server computing device to provide a navigation engine configured to compute a navigation route of at least one autonomous mobile robot using at least the virtual three-dimensional coordinates of the at least one virtual object, enabling the at least one autonomous mobile robot to autonomously navigate the physical environment by reference to a virtual replica of the physical environment comprised in the virtual world system.
