Abstract
A method for controlling at least one autonomous mobile robot, wherein the at least one robot is designed to navigate within a functional area on the basis of a map of said functional area, and to perform at least one task autonomously in the functional area. The method involves: receiving a job request which contains instructions for carrying out at least one task in the functional area, automatically dividing the job request into at least two sub-tasks, and automatically determining a sequence in which said sub-tasks are to be processed by the at least one robot, the job request being fully completed once all sub-tasks have been processed.
