Understand how
iRobot Roomba
cleans.
Roomba's Cleaning Pattern
Roomba is a robot that cleans
differently than the way most people
clean their floors. Roomba uses its
robot intelligence to efficiently clean
the whole floor, under and around
furniture and along walls. Roomba
calculates the optimal cleaning path
as it cleans and determines when to
use its various cleaning behaviors:
Spiraling: Roomba uses a spiral
motion to clean a concentrated area.
Wall Following: Roomba uses this
technique to clean the full perimeter
of the room and navigate around
furniture and obstacles.
Room Crossing: Roomba criss-
crosses the room to ensure full
cleaning coverage.
Dirt Detection: When Roomba
senses dirt, the blue Dirt Detect™
light is lit and Roomba cleans more
intensely in that area.
