1. A method for processing a surface of an area to be processed by an autonomous mobile robot, comprising:
processing a surface part of a surface area according to one or more process patterns;
storing an already processed surface part of the surface area,
wherein storing the processed surface part is done in a raster map,
wherein the raster map comprises a plurality of squares, and
wherein, for each square, the raster map stores whether the relative square has already been processed,
wherein an edge length of a square is equal to or smaller than a size of a cleaning module of the robot.
