The Neato robot is an autonomous vacuum cleaner designed to simplify home cleaning. It is equipped with features for navigation, scheduling, and maintenance, ensuring efficient and convenient operation.
Function Description:
The Neato robot is a home robot that vacuums floors automatically. Users can set it up to clean their homes without manual intervention. It is designed to navigate around furniture and obstacles, returning to its charge base when cleaning is complete or when its battery is low. The robot can be scheduled to clean at specific times, and it offers different cleaning modes, including "House" for general cleaning and "Spot" for concentrated cleaning in a smaller area.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Charging: Requires an initial overnight charge of approximately 12 hours. For optimal battery performance, it is recommended to charge and completely discharge the battery two to three times.
- Clearance for Charge Base: The charge base requires a 3' (1 m) clearance on both sides and in front to allow the robot to find it easily.
- Battery: Features a Battery ON/OFF switch located under the dirt bin. Status lights indicate battery charge level and error conditions (Solid Green for fully charged, Blinking Green for charging but able to clean, Blinking Amber for charging and unable to clean yet, Solid Amber for error).
- Navigation: Uses a laser top for navigation and drop sensors to prevent falls.
- Dirt Bin and Filter: Equipped with a removable dirt bin and filter for debris collection.
