Classification: CPC A  G  H | IPC A  G  H

Claim 10:
11. A method for controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
generating a path to drive the electronic device within an area, the path configured to substantially cover the area, the path having a start location and an end location;
receiving motion information from a first set of sensors;
determining whether a wheel of the electronic device is slipping based on the motion information;
generating ranging information based on information that is received, via a second set of sensors, from multiple anchors that are positioned at fixed locations throughout the area;
while the electronic device is driven along the path, identifying a location and heading direction within the area of the electronic device based on a subset of the motion information, wherein the subset of the motion information comprises a first subset of the motion information in response to a determination that the wheel of the electronic device is slipping or a second subset of the motion information in response to a determination that the wheel of the electronic device is not slipping;
modifying the identified location and heading direction of the electronic device based on the ranging information;
controlling the electronic device to drive within the area from the start location to the end location according to the path, based on the modified location and heading direction of the electronic device;
upon the electronic device reaching the end location, identifying one or more missed portions of the area that were not traversed; and
generating a new path for the electronic device to traverse the one or more missed portions of the area that were not traversed.
