Cleaning dark floors (7000, 3000 and 2000 Series)
Cleaning dark floors (7000, 3000 and 2000 Series) Your robot is equipped with anti-drop sensors to detect stairs and other floor-level differences so it can avoid them. Dark floors may be mistakenly identified as stairs so your robot will not drive onto them.
To help your robot recognise the dark floor, make sure that the room is well lit by turning on the lights.

6000 Series
Your 6000 Series robot uses an LDS radar navigation system. This technology is effective even in low-light environments since the machine sensor emits infrared light, which gets reflected by the ground and objects. The sensor has its own transmitting and receiving system, which works independently of the environment. However, it's important to note that direct sunlight can interfere with infrared light, so it's best not to use the robot in strong outdoor sunlight.
