bObsweep’s cleaning behavior

Most of the time, bObsweep can be left on one of the Auto-cleaning modes without 

supervision. The three AUTO modes set Bob’s movements in different patterns that 

best match the size and layout of his working area. Plus, he detects dirtier areas that 

need extra attention as he crosses them, and gives them more attention. 

Sometimes Bob may seem to avoid one area or a room for a while, but be patient 

while he searches out dirt particles in his own way. Bobsweep’s pattern may look 

quite different from the way a human would clean: he sometimes turns in circles, 

expanding outward to clean a certain spot. Or he may go back and forth in the 

middle of the room, zigzagging over a small area. Rest assured, frequent directional 

changes are normal for Bob while he changes cleaning modes and algorithms. So, 

it is best to let Bob work in his own way even if his movements appear odd. Moving 

bObsweep around, manipulating its movements excessively, or picking him up will 

disrupt his cycle. If you leave Bob to do the job on his own, you will notice the excel-

lent results when you open the dustbin at the end of the cleaning cycle. If you wish 

to control Bob’s movements to cover/avoid a certain area, we recommend that you 

only do so using the remote. If your rooms are divided by higher ledges than Bob is 

able to climb, you may gently push him over.

Although Bob is capable of transitioning between rooms and most floor types, this 

does not mean that he always chooses to move onto the next area when he arrives 

at a transition. Bob may appear to be ignoring some spaces or spending too much 

time in others, but rest assured that his algorithms are designed to render an effi-

cient cleaning job by the end of a full cycle.
