Possible Causes

Worn drive wheels, Weak wheel suspension springs, Thick or loose carpets, Thresholds higher than robot spec

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the robot before freeing it from obstacles.

  • 1. Adjust environment:
    • Use no-go zones or virtual walls in the app to block problematic areas.
    • Secure loose rugs or remove very thick mats.
  • 2. Inspect wheels:
    • Check the tread on the drive wheels; if smooth or cracked, replace the wheel modules.
    • Ensure wheels move up and down freely.
  • 3. Reduce obstacles:
    • Install small ramps at high thresholds if possible.
  • 4. If the robot still struggles on normal thresholds:
    • Wheel suspension springs or modules may be weak and require replacement.
