A robot operates using electrical power. The robot is able to autonomously return to a dock to recharge its batteries. The robot may perform a variety of tasks that consume electrical power, such as performing video calls, presenting audio or video content, acting as a sentry, and so forth. Usage of the robot is analyzed to predict tasks that a user is likely to request. This information is used along with information about previously scheduled tasks and system tasks to create a list of tasks to be performed and when to perform those tasks. The tasks to be performed are calculated to maximize availability of the robot to the user while minimizing charge/discharge cycles, minimizing the extent of the charge/discharge, and minimizing the use of rapid charging. As a result, the lifespan of the batteries may be increased.
