Use robot to build wifi heatmap #395

This is to suggest an enhancement (I didn't know where to post the requirement). Please let me know if you would be able to work on it. I was wondering if we could use the robot to capture/gather wifi information (RSSI, noise, RX/TX rate) while hoovering and build a map with wifi information. We could then push this data over MQTT and build a very accurate wifi heat map. This would be very good to have to place the access points in the right location.
