Possible Causes

Obstructed top camera or sensor (if fitted), Highly reflective or repetitive floor patterns, Frequent movement of furniture, Firmware mapping bugs

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No special hazards; do not cover sensors with tape.

  • Clean top sensors/camera: Wipe any top‑mounted camera window or sensor dome with a dry cloth.
  • Stabilize environment: Avoid moving large furniture between runs while the robot is learning the layout.
  • Reset map: In the Dyson app, delete the existing map and allow the robot to create a new one over several full runs.

If mapping remains unreliable after resets and cleaning, internal navigation sensors or firmware may require service or update.
