Systems and methods for utilizing fleets of robots are disclosed. The method comprises receiving a task with a computing device, and retrieving, from a memory, battery-charge attributes associated, respectively, with at least three robots. A determination is made that the first battery-charge attribute is greater than the second battery-charge attribute, which is greater than the third battery-charge attribute. The battery-charge attributes are evaluated against a criterion. After determining that the first and second battery-charge attributes satisfy the criterion, the first and second robots are added to a selection set. After determining that the third battery-charge attribute does not satisfy the criterion, the third robot is omitted from the selection set. The selection is then optimized based on the first and second battery-charge attributes, and then one of the first and second robots is selected from the selection set to perform an action associated with the task request.
