ABSTRACT:
A method for semi-autonomous operation of a robotic device in a room. In the method, one or more goal points are set and the distances between the robotic device and the one or more goal points are determined. A first one of the one or more goal points is selected and the robotic device is maneuvered to travel to the first one of the one or more goal points. In addition, one or more functions at the first one of the one or more goal points with the robotic device are performed
