1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring an elevator comprising a robot,
wherein the robot comprises a sensor system and at least one output unit, and
wherein the computer-implemented method comprises:
the robot leveraging the sensor system to detect one or more persons in a vicinity of the robot;
the robot leveraging the sensor system to detect an elevator operating component for the elevator;
the robot leveraging the sensor system to monitor the elevator operating component;
the robot leveraging the sensor system to detect a selected floor based on said leveraging of the sensor system to monitor the elevator operating component; and
the robot leveraging the at least one output unit to prompt at least one of the one or more detected persons to select a predetermined floor using the elevator operating component.
