1. A method comprising:

  • determining a target location and orientation of a mobile device on a surface;

    determining a surface material type;

    determining a current location of the mobile device on the surface based on the surface material type;

    determining a current orientation of the mobile device based on motion data;

    generating one or more waveforms based on the current and target mobile device locations and orientations;

    responsive to the one or more waveforms, driving one or more actuators of the mobile device to move the mobile device on the surface;

    measuring the motion of the mobile device on the surface resulting from driving the one or more actuators with the one or more waveforms;

    based at least in part on the measuring, determining that the mobile device has reached the target location and orientation; and

    initiating one or more actions on the mobile at the target location and orientation.
