Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019048030A1] The invention relates to a method of a robotic cleaning device (100) of controlling operation of a cleaning program in progress, and a robotic cleaning device (100) configured to perform the method. In an aspect of the invention, a robotic cleaning device (100) configured to control operation of a cleaning program in progress is provided. The robotic cleaning device (100) comprises a propulsion system (112, 113, 115a, 115b) configured to move the robotic cleaning device (100), at least one battery (117) configured to power the robotic cleaning device (100), and a controller (116) configured to receive an instruction to pause the cleaning program in progress, control, in response to said instruction to pause, the propulsion system (112, 113, 115a, 115b) to cause the robotic cleaning device (100) to travel to a charging station to recharge the robotic cleaning device battery (117), receive a further instruction to resume the cleaning program that was in progress upon receiving the instruction to pause, and resume, in response to said further instruction, the cleaning program that was in progress upon receiving the instruction to pause.
