Zusammenfassung:	A robotic cleaning device and method of control thereof. The device and method enable multiple cleaning passes within an environment efficiently, cleaning the entire environment more than once, or cleaning the entire environment and then focusing on one or more particularly dirty areas to provide enhanced cleaning by making one or more passes over a dirty area in a dominant and a non-dominant direction. The robotic cleaning device may identify such areas in the course of its cleaning, or it may record such areas previously as being historically dirty and requiring additional attention. The device may vacuum; it may shampoo; it may polish; or it may perform other cleaning operations. Where the device is battery-powered, the device may check its state of charge before performing the enhanced cleaning, and may repeat the enhanced cleaning if the battery or batteries have sufficient charge.
