1. A method for pairing a robotic device with an application of a communication device, comprising:
receiving, with the application, a unique login information of a user of the robotic device;
using, with the application, the unique login information to log into the application;
receiving, with the application, an indication to pair the robotic device with the application;
receiving, with the application, a password for a first Wi-Fi network for use in connecting the robotic device to the first Wi-Fi network, enabling receiving of information from and transmission of information to the application;
enabling, with the robotic device, pairing of the robotic device with the application upon the user pressing at least one button on a user interface of the robotic device;
displaying, with the application, a map of an environment of the robotic device and a status of the robotic device;
receiving, with the application, an adjustment to the map of the environment; an instruction to perform a function comprising at least one of vacuuming and mopping; a cleaning setting; scheduling information comprising at least a day and a time of operation and an area within which to perform the operation; a rotation, deletion, addition, or modification of a boundary line within the map; a cleaning intensity; a cleaning frequency setting; and an area which the robotic device is to avoid; and
transmitting, with the application, at least some of the information received by the application to the robotic device.
