A system and method for monitoring operation of an autonomous robot. In one aspect, the invention can be a method comprising: defining, with a central processing unit of the autonomous robot, a perimeter of an area of confinement； storing the perimeter of the area of confinement within a memory device of the autonomous robot as map data； transmitting the map data from a transceiver of the autonomous robot to a server； overlaying, by the server, the area of confinement onto a satellite image corresponding to a geographic location that includes the area of confinement to create a visual representation of the area of confinement overlaid onto the satellite image； transmitting, from the server to an external device, the visual representation of the area of confinement overlaid onto the satellite image； and displaying, on a display, the visual representation of the area of confinement overlaid onto the satellite image.
