Does the robotic vacuum recognize obstacles (doorsteps/thresholds)?

Issue

• Does the robotic vacuum recognize obstacles (doorsteps/thresholds)?

Applies to

• Robot Vacuum
• PI91-5SGM
• PI92-6STN
• PI92-6SGMKIT

Solution

1. The robotic vacuum recognizes floor differences, e.g. stairs and thresholds.

It is able to calculate and decide where to move in a safe way.

Before manoeuvring over any obstacle or crossing a threshold, the robotic vacuum will stop and check:

• The heights of the obstacle/threshold.
• If the area on the other side is clear to operate.

Note: In some cases, such as non-symmetrical doorsteps, there might be a problem with the robotic vacuum's return cycle (the appliance might get stuck).

Before crossing a threshold or climbing over any

obstacle, the robot will stop and check:

- the heights (A & B) on both sides of the threshold/obstacle

- that the area on the other side is clear to operate (C)

Cleaning of a house with more than one floor can be facilitated by using an extra charging base on each floor.
