Abstract
A method of prioritizing cleaning of rooms of an environment for a mobile cleaning robot can include generating a cleanliness score for each room of the environment using a controller. Each of the cleanliness scores can be indicative of an amount of debris expected in each respective room by the mobile cleaning robot. The method can also include generating a room cleaning priority based at least partially on the cleanliness score of each of the rooms. The method can also include scheduling operations of the mobile cleaning robot for a planned mission based on the room cleaning priority of each of the rooms of the environment.
