Celestial navigation system for an autonomous vehicle

A method comprising:

• receiving, on a mobile device, a user request to schedule a cleaning task of a robotic vacuum cleaner;
• receiving, on the mobile device, a user input of a user-selected time for initiating the cleaning task of the robotic vacuum cleaner;
• presenting, on the mobile device, display elements associated with a plurality of selectable rooms in a space;
• receiving, on the mobile device, a user input of one or more user-selected rooms selected from the plurality of selectable rooms;
• and
• communicating with the robotic vacuum cleaner to cause the robotic vacuum cleaner to initiate the cleaning task at the user-selected time to clean the one or more user-selected rooms.
