A method of scheduling a robotic device enables the device to run autonomously based on previously loaded scheduling information. The method consists of a communication device, such as a hand-held remote device, that can directly control the robotic device, or load scheduling information into the robotic device such that it will carry out a defined task at the desired time without the need for further external control. The communication device can also be configured to load a scheduling application program into an existing robotic device, such that the robotic device can receive and implement scheduling information from a user.

1. A method of cleaning a room using a robotic cleaning device, the method comprising: autonomously navigating the robotic cleaning device having a battery about a floor surface of the room;transmitting a power level report from the robotic cleaning device to a mobile device;automatically returning the robotic cleaning device to a docking station based on a power level of the robotic cleaning device;transmitting a mission status report from the robotic cleaning device to the mobile device; andtransmitting from the robotic cleaning device an error report indicative of an error of at least one of a filter or a brush of the robotic cleaning device. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving, from the mobile device at the robotic cleaning device, information about a cleaning power setting; andcleaning at a cleaning power between a minimum setting and a maximum setting based on the received information about the cleaning power setting. 3. The method of claim 2, further comprising: transmitting, from the robotic cleaning device to the mobile device, a return signal indicative of completion of receiving the information about the cleaning power, andproviding a visual or audio signal indicative of the completion of receiving the information about the cleaning power. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting the mission status report comprises transmitting the mission status report after a cleaning operation is complete. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting the mission status report comprises transmitting the mission status report during a cleaning operation. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a map of the room. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the map of the room is indicative of a position of an object positioned in the room. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile device comprises a wireless communication device selected from the group consisting of a personal computing device, a laptop computer, and a mobile phone. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving information indicative of a user-selected cleaning power for the robotic cleaning device, wherein autonomously navigating the robotic cleaning device comprises initiating a cleaning operation at a cleaning power that is based on the received user-selected cleaning power. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, from the mobile device at the robotic cleaning device, a command to perform a cleaning operation at a user-selected cleaning power. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the power level report and mission status report are included in a single report that is wirelessly transmitted. 12. The method of claim 1, further comprising authenticating a communication link between the robotic cleaning device and the mobile device before transmitting the power level report and before transmitting the mission status report. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating a schedule based on a pattern of one or more user-initiated cleaning operations, and wherein autonomously navigating the robotic cleaning device about the floor surface comprises initiating a cleaning operation in accordance with the schedule. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein automatically returning the robotic cleaning device to the docking station comprises automatically returning the robotic cleaning device to the docking station when the power level of the robotic cleaning device drops to a predetermined level. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the error report is indicative of an error of the filter of the robotic cleaning device. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the error report is indicative of an error of the brush of the robotic cleaning device. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the robotic cleaning device further comprises a vacuum. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the robotic cleaning device further comprises a cleaning brush. 19. A method of cleaning a room using a robotic cleaning device, the method comprising: autonomously navigating the robotic cleaning device having a battery about a floor surface of the room;transmitting a power level report from the robotic cleaning device to a mobile device;automatically returning the robotic cleaning device to a docking station based on a power level of the robotic cleaning device;transmitting a mission status report from the robotic cleaning device to the mobile device;receiving, from the mobile device at the robotic cleaning device, information about a cleaning power setting;cleaning at a cleaning power between a minimum setting and a maximum setting based on the received information about the cleaning power setting;transmitting, from the robotic cleaning device to the mobile device, a return signal indicative of completion of receiving the information about the cleaning power; andproviding a visual or audio signal indicative of the completion of receiving the information about the cleaning power. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein transmitting the mission status report comprises transmitting the mission status report after a cleaning operation is complete. 21. The method of claim 19, wherein transmitting the mission status report comprises transmitting the mission status report during a cleaning operation. 22. The method of claim 19, further comprising generating a map of the room. 23. The method of claim 19, wherein the mobile device comprises a mobile phone. 24. The method of claim 19, wherein the power level report and mission status report are included in a single report that is wirelessly transmitted. 25. The method of claim 19, further comprising generating a schedule based on a pattern of one or more user-initiated cleaning operations, and wherein autonomously navigating the robotic cleaning device about the floor surface comprises initiating a cleaning operation in accordance with the schedule. 26. The method of claim 19, wherein automatically returning the robotic cleaning device to the docking station comprises automatically returning the robotic cleaning device to the docking station when the power level of the robotic cleaning device drops to a predetermined level. 27. The method of claim 19, wherein the robotic cleaning device further comprises a vacuum. 28. The method of claim 19, wherein the robotic cleaning device further comprises a cleaning brush.
