A method for checking functions and conditions of an elevator (1) is proposed, the method comprising the following steps: - providing at least one autonomous mobile robot (2), the robot being adapted to autonomously moving from a floor (29) of a building into a cabin (3) of the elevator (1) and vice versa; - performing a checking procedure during which the cabin (3) of the elevator (1) is displaced multiple times between various floors (29) of the building and the at least one autonomous mobile robot (2) repeatedly enters and leaves the cabin (3) at various floors (29); - monitoring the functions and conditions of the elevator (1) during the checking procedure. Therein, the autonomous mobile robots (2) may emulate e.g. normal use of the elevator (1) by passengers including load changes in the cabin (3) induced by entering or leaving passengers. Thereby, the functions and conditions of the elevator (1) may be monitored under more realistic conditions and therefore the functions and conditions may be checked with higher reliability.
