Possible Causes

Furniture clearance slightly lower than robot height, Loose cables or rugs catching the robot, Aggressive navigation pattern under sofas

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No internal work required.

  • Measure clearance: Compare the height of the robot to the underside of problem furniture. If clearance is marginal, block access.
  • Use physical barriers: Place low-profile blocks or Neato boundary markers in front of low furniture to prevent entry.
  • Manage cables: Use cable clips or covers to keep cords off the floor where the robot travels.
  • Adjust cleaning zones (if supported): In the app, set no-go lines or restricted zones under problematic furniture.
