1. A method for carrying an item autonomously by a robotic device with a chassis attached to, the robotic device comprising:
a set of wheels coupled to a motor for driving the set of wheels;
a rechargeable battery for providing power to the robotic device;
a control system for controlling movement of the robotic device;
a set of sensors;
a processor;
a container providing space for at least one item being carried;
an electrical port for providing electricity to at least one compatible device; and
a memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor effectuates operations, comprising:
capturing, with a camera of the robotic device, images of an environment;
extracting, with the processor of the robotic device, features in the captured images;
generating, with the processor of the robotic device, a map of the environment based on at least some data captured by the camera;
localizing, with the processor of the robotic device, the robotic device based on at least some data captured by the camera; and
actuating, with the processor of the robotic device, the carry of the at least one item from a first location to a second location upon receiving a command via a user interface of the robotic device or an application of a communication device configured to:
receive at least one input designating a command for an instant carry or a schedule for the carry of the at least one item; and
display the status of the carry.
