Possible Causes

Dock placed in a tight corner, Reflective surfaces confusing sensors, Dirty dock IR window, Weak dock power supply

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dock before moving it.

Optimize dock placement:

  • Place the dock against a straight wall with the clearance recommended in the Tesvor manual (typically 0.5 m on each side and 1.5 m in front).
  • Avoid placing the dock near mirrors, glass doors, or under furniture.

Clean and check:

  • Wipe the dock's front IR window and the robot's front sensors with a dry cloth.
  • Ensure the dock's indicator light is on and the power adapter is functioning.

Test:

  • Command the robot to return to dock and observe its approach.

If docking still fails: The dock's IR beacon or the robot's docking sensor may be faulty. Try a replacement dock; if the issue persists, the robot's front IR sensor board may need replacement.
