METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING SCAN DATA OF AN AREA OF INTEREST

The invention pertains to a system and a method (100) for generating three-dimensional scan data of one or more areas of interest in an environment, the method comprising a user defining (110) the one or more areas of interest using a mobile device in the environment, and a scanning device performing a scanning procedure (120) at each defined area of interest to generate the scan data of the respective area of interest, wherein defining the areas of interest comprises, for each area of interest, generating (114) identification data, wherein generating the identification data at least comprises generating (112) image data of the respective area of interest, and the scanning procedure at each defined area of interest is performed (128) by a mobile robot comprising the scanning device and being configured for autonomously performing a scan of a surrounding area using the scanning device, the mobile robot having a SLAM functionality for simultaneous localization and mapping and being configured to autonomously move through the environment using the SLAM functionality, wherein the identification data is provided (116) to the mobile robot, and, in the course of each scanning procedure, the mobile robot navigates (122) to the respective area of interest using the identification data, detects (124) the respective area of interest using the identification data; and uses the scanning device to scan (126) the respective area of interest to generate the three-dimensional scan data.
