Claim 108:
109. A robot, comprising:
a plurality of sensors;
a processor;
an image sensor;
at least one cleaning tool for performing one of vacuuming and mopping; and
a tangible, non-transitory, machine readable medium storing instructions that when executed by the processor effectuates operations comprising:
capturing, by the image sensor disposed on the robot, images of a workspace of the robot;
controlling, with the processor, an actuator of the robot to cause the robot to move along a navigation path, wherein:
the robot moves along the navigation path to perform work in the workspace;
the navigation path comprises at least a back and forth pattern comprising parallel linear segments, wherein adjacent linear segments have motion trajectories in alternating directions; and
the navigation path covers areas of the workspace that the robot is yet to perform work within;

capturing, with the image sensor, an image of an object located along the navigation path of the robot; and
actuating, with the processor, the robot to execute an altered navigation path to avoid the object or maneuver around the object and continue along the planned navigation path.
