Further, in an optional embodiment, the data collection device 101 is an unmanned vehicle. Here, unmanned vehicles refer to vehicles that do not carry people. Non-carrying vehicles have many advantages, such as small size, low cost, flexible and convenient use, low requirements on the working environment, and strong survivability. For the environment of the computing center, unmanned vehicles can prevent the controllers of the unmanned vehicles from being close to the high-temperature and high-humidity environment of the computing center, and safeguard the labor protection rights of the controllers.

In another optional embodiment, the data collection route defined according to the program is defined by a programmable artificial intelligence module outside the data collection device 101 using artificial intelligence technology. The artificial intelligence module is the deep learning processor, which is a chip for computers to create a multi-layer large-scale artificial neural network that mimics the human brain. In the operation of deep learning processors, the improvement of the computing power of the computing system is the key to determining the processing efficiency of deep learning. Deep learning refers to multilayered artificial neural networks and methods of training them.

REST (Representational State Transfer) representational state transition, REST refers to a set of architectural constraints and principles. If an architecture conforms to the constraints and principles of REST, we call it a RESTful architecture. REST itself does not create new technologies, components or services, but the idea behind RESTful is to use the existing features and capabilities of the Web, and better use some guidelines and constraints in existing Web standards. Although REST itself is deeply influenced by Web technology, in theory the REST architectural style is not bound to HTTP, but currently HTTP is the only instance related to REST. When the data collection device 101 transmits data according to the RESTful interface specification, the data collection device 101 is easy to be integrated with other systems as a part of other systems because it transmits data according to the specification.
