But, they're not a replacement for a traditional plug-in vacuum. You can modify the cleaning settings of a variety of robot mops using an app. You can, for example create virtual boundaries to keep the robot out of dangerous areas, such as children's playpens or pet beds. How They Work Sensors are used by robot vacuums to sense walls, furniture and other obstacles within the room as they move. They use a combination of roller brush along with side brushes and mops to remove dirt from the suction intake, which is then backed by a powerful motor. Some models come with a hygienic one-touch mechanism for ejection that drives dust deep into your trash can without the need to touch it. Some robots have sensors that detect drops of a steep slope to prevent them from falling. Some models have advanced mapping systems that allow them to create detailed floor plans and track their movements around your home. These models have longer battery lives compared to non-mapping robotic cleaners. They are also able to return to the dock to recharge if they run out of energy during a cleaning session. No matter if they employ the mapping system or not, all robovacs come equipped with obstacle sensors that work by sending an infrared signal to objects and measuring their reflection. When an object is detected, the sensor informs the robot to stay clear of it or change its path. You can adjust these sensors' settings to prevent certain areas or floors from being cleaned, or create a schedule that will automatically clean them. Certain high-end robotics employ lidar to create a 3D space model. The robots can navigate the home using this map, and avoid obstacles like thresholds for doors and carpets with thick padding
