How to set up boundaries and virtual barriers for robot vacuums and mops
ecovacs deebot 600 ozmo930 best buy deals 930

Robot vacuums are amazing. They can keep pet hair at bay, mop up small spills, and otherwise keep your home tidy and dust-free between regular thorough cleanings. For the most part, a robot vacuum or robot mop can be set-it-and-forget-it: you can schedule cleanings to happen automatically, and even have certain rooms cleaned on certain days.

But what if you have a pesky rug, pet feeding areas, or odd-shaped piece of furniture that keeps snagging your bot until it runs low on battery and dies without completing its mission? Or if you want to keep the machine out of certain rooms or areas? Today's robot vacuums are super smart, and it's easy to control where they can go in your home and where they shouldn’t. Here’s what you need to know.
How to set up boundaries and virtual barriers for robot vacuums and mops
There are a handful of different ways you can keep a robot vacuum from venturing into certain spaces in your home. Depending on the age of the robot and the technology it came with, you have a few different options.

Lidar is the gold standard of robot vacuum navigation, but it’s not perfect
Lidar sensor in the 360 Robot Vacuum Cleaner S10 working

Any robot vacuum owner can understand my frustration over having to occasionally save my bot from gobbling up a pair of socks, being tripped up by pesky wires, or even getting stuck under furniture. For our robotic servants, it’s like exploring the frontier each and every time they embark on a new cleaning -- one that’s filled with unexpected traps and obstacles to avoid. You could say that no two cleanings are ever alike. That’s unless you’re pretty good at precleaning.

What’s been a tremendous asset for many bots in the last few years has been the adoption of lidar (light detection and ranging). You can easily tell if it’s using it or not based on how the robot navigates, just because lidar-equipped bots tend to clean in straight or s-shaped patterns. Recently, I’ve been testing out the 360 Robot Vacuum Cleaner S10, which happens to employ not one, but three lidar sensors to allow it to see better in 3D. Even though lidar continues to be the gold standard, it’s still not entirely without issues.
Lidar’s great when it comes to efficiency

The best window-cleaning robots

We have robot vacuums, robot mopping machines, and robot pool cleaners, and it's no surprise that the world of smart robot window cleaners is also following suit. While these window-cleaning devices are still in early phases and the technology isn't quite as developed as, say, a Roomba, they can make taking care of large windows easier with an array of smart features, artificial intelligence (A.I.) movement, and unique cleaning technologies.

If you want to get an early start on this new tech, there are plenty of options on the market you can try. We've checked out current models and are ready to recommend some of the best, starting with the friendly Gladwell Gecko.
