Abstract

An autonomous device and method for controlling an autonomous device are disclosed. The autonomous device is configured for performing at least one task, selected from a household task, a commercial task and an industrial task. The autonomous device comprises at least one spatial sensor for generating location information and at least one further sensor for determining at least one further parameter. The autonomous device further comprises at least one task unit arranged to perform the household and/or commercial and/or industrial task, and at least one electronics unit, wherein the electronics unit is configured to generate a map using the location information, wherein the electronics unit further is configured for connecting the further parameter to the location information and adding the location of the further parameter to the map, thereby creating a parameter map containing location-correlated values of the at least one further parameter.
