How your robot works
What your robot cleans
This robot is equipped with features that make it a suitable cleaner to help you clean the floors in
your home.
The robot is especially suitable for cleaning hard floors, such as wooden, tiled or linoleum floors. It
may experience problems cleaning soft floors, such as carpet or rugs. If you use the robot on a
carpet or rug, please stay close by the first time to see if the robot can deal with this type of floor.
How your robot cleans
Cleaning system
The robot has a 2-stage cleaning system to clean your floors efficiently.
- The two side brushes help the robot clean in corners and along walls. They also help to work
dirt loose from the floor (Fig. 2).
- The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it through the suction
opening into the dust container (Fig. 3).

Cleaning patterns

The robot uses a systematic cleaning strategy that consists of three cleaning patterns.
1 Straight pattern
2 Spiral pattern
3 Wall-following pattern
The robot uses these patterns in the following order:
1 A straight pattern, followed by a spiral pattern (Fig. 4)
2 A wall-following pattern, followed by a spiral pattern (Fig. 5)
When the robot has completed this sequence of patterns, it starts moving in straight lines again. The
robot continues to use this sequence of patterns to clean the room until the rechargeable battery is
empty, or until it is switched off manually.
How your robot avoids stairs
The robot is fitted with three drop-off sensors in the bottom.
- These drop-off sensors are used to detect and avoid height differences. In some cases,
depending on specific circumstances in your home, the drop-off sensors may not detect a
staircase or other height difference in time. Therefore avoid using the robot in these situations
or monitor it carefully (Fig. 6).
