1. A computer-implemented method for positioning a plurality of sensors in an area, the method comprising:
receiving data from the sensors that are each positioned at a respective first location, the data indicative of weather parameters and environmental parameters;
determining weather conditions and an environmental condition of the area based on the weather parameters and the environmental parameters;
determining an impact to the environmental condition by the weather conditions;
determining a second location for at least one of the sensors to generate further environmental parameters with an increased granular level based on the impact to the environmental condition; and
transmitting instructions to a delivery robot to move the at least one of the sensors to the second location.
