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.
