    Abstract: Systems and methods for gathering sensor information using on-demand sensors and fixed sensors are described herein. For example, a system may include an on-demand sensor available for selective deployment within a workspace in which a plurality of mobile drive units transport a plurality of inventory holders. The system may also include a computing device that monitors movement of a mobile drive unit based on first sensor information. The computing device may also detect a triggering condition relating to the movement of the mobile drive unit. The computing device may also cause an on-demand sensor to collect second sensor information within the workspace based at least in part on detecting the triggering condition.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for maintaining a current map of a workspace using on-demand sensors and fixed sensors are described herein. For example, a system may include a fixed sensor positioned within the workspace, an on-demand sensor available for selective deployment in the workspace, and a computing device. The computing device may maintain a digital map of the workspace, identify a region in the workspace for collection of additional sensor information, and cause the on-demand sensor to gather the additional sensor information for updating the digital map.
