Sometimes slowly backing up at corners to be sure all edges are detected. Carefully using the wall sensor to keep close to the edge. After the sweep is complete, cleaning usually begins with a right turn towards the nearest wall and then the Neato follows the wall all around. Sometimes it moves to other positions for sweeping as well. When the cleaning starts the Neato leaves its charging station, drives forward into the room and stops and sweeps the area. The Neato will also remember the positions of the barrier tapes and avoid them later in the cleaning process without even going near. When it encounters a magnetic barrier tape it will treat it as a wall and continue alongside it. I guess it does a fair amount of mapping in this process as well with the help of the wall sensor and laser scanner. That's why the optical wall sensor is needed only on the right side. The cleaning concept that the Neato follows is that it will clean the edges of the area first. Two magnetic flux meters - one on each front corner used to locate the magnetic barrier tape One 3-axis accelerometer - not sure if this is actually used during normal cleaning 360 degree laser scanner on top with 1 degree horizontal resolution One optical wall sensor - on the front right corner looking right Two optical drop sensors - one on each front corner looking down and prevents the Neato from driving down the stairs Four bumper contacts - two on the front and one on each side To keep the Neato from accessing certain areas magnetic barrier tape strips can be placed on the floor. If it runs out of power it will navigate back to its charging station all by itself and after charging navigating back and continuing where it left off. The Neato knows where it is and cleans in an orderly fashion. The Neato has a laser mapping system that scans the surrounding. It's not like most other vacuum "robots" that roam around your house in a random pattern eventually getting some cleaning done. The XV-25 from Neato Robotics is an automatic vacuum cleaner. There just had to be technical solution to this. Just getting rid of the everyday floor sweep would be great. The rest of the furniture of course have to be vacuumed as well but not that often. The only way I have found to keep the dust bunny population under control (and to keep the silly cat from eating them) is to vacuum the floors at least every day. I did not know there could be fur dust bunnies but they are running all over the floor if we don't catch them in time.
