Abstract
A robotic device including a medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor effectuates operations including: capturing images and sensor data of an environment as the robotic device drives back and forth in straight lines; generating or updating a map of the environment based on at least one of the one or more images and the sensor data; recognizing one or more rooms in the map based on at least one of the one or more images and the sensor data; determining at least one of a position and an orientation of the robotic device relative to the environment based on at least one of the one or more images and the sensor data; and actuating the robotic device to adjust a heading of the robotic device based on the at least one of the position and the orientation of the robotic device relative to the environment.
