Abstract
Provided is a medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor of a first wheeled device effectuates operations including: capturing sensor readings of an environment; finding a position of the first wheeled device within a map of the environment based on at least some of the sensor readings; and generating a new map of the environment when the processor is unable to load the previously generated map or cannot find the position of the first wheeled device within the previously generated map; wherein: the map is previously generated with the processor of the first wheeled device or a processor of a second wheeled device; the map is loaded into a memory of the first wheeled device at a beginning of each work session; and the processor of the first wheeled device iteratively tracks the position of the first wheeled device while performing a task.
