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.
