1. A tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a control unit of a robotic floor-cleaning device effectuate operations comprising:
receiving, with the control unit of the robotic floor-cleaning device, a new schedule or an adjustment to an existing schedule from a software application executed on an internet-connected device paired with the robotic floor-cleaning device; and
actuating, by the control unit of the robotic floor-cleaning device, the robotic floor-cleaning device to clean according to the new schedule or the adjustment to the existing schedule and a suggested schedule, wherein the control unit only actuates the robotic floor-cleaning device to clean according to the suggested schedule after approval of the suggested schedule;
wherein the software application executed on the internet-connected device is configured to:
propose the suggested schedule for operating the robotic floor-cleaning device comprising at least one day and time to a user; and
receive at least one input designating the new schedule or the adjustment to the existing schedule and an approval of the suggested schedule.
