Understand how
iRobot Roomba
cleans.
Roomba’s Cleaning Pattern
Roomba is a robot that cleans
differently than the way most
people clean their floors. Roomba
uses its robot intelligence to
efficiently clean the whole floor,
under and around furniture and
along walls. Roomba calculates the
optimal cleaning path as it cleans
and determines when to use its
various cleaning behaviors.
Spiraling: Roomba uses a spiral
motion to clean a concentrated
area.
Wall Following: Roomba uses
this technique to clean the full
perimeter of the room and navigate
around furniture and obstacles.
Room Crossing: Roomba criss-
crosses the room to ensure full
cleaning coverage.
Dirt Detection: When Roomba
senses dirt, the blue Dirt Detect
™
light is lit and Roomba cleans more
intensely in that area.

Wall (optional accessory) to
confine Roomba to one room.
