Re: remove / delete robot from android app

You can't. If you want to change the name, you can re-do the onboarding and give your robot a new name, but removal is not available for customers.

New Release 41.10

Dear Community,

As we are getting ready for the upcoming release 41.10, here's a sneak peak into whats included....

Power level control per cleaning zone
You can tell the robot to set its cleaning power to different levels for each zone. Kitchen a bit messier than the rest of the place? Boost the power there, but keep it quiet everywhere else.

Better 'Home' Detection with No Go/Avoid zones
Robot knows if it has stayed in its charger and can more quickly realize its position when starting: this means that avoid zones placed near the charger will be respected- previously the robot could possibly have strayed into them before realizing where it was.

Better Energy Consumption
Let's turn off that fan motors and save some energy while transporting to the area of interest

..... and other stability improvements

Resume cleaning if accidentally cancel cleaning

it would be good if you could undo if you accidentally canceled cleaning at it went back to where you accidentally stopped it.

Re: No mapping

@Cissi said:
... I would like to make that carpet a no-go zone but ironically its not possible because of no correct map yet.

hmm - if it is not too much of an imposition: Remove the carpet temporarily and let the robot finish its work. After that you can add the desired avoid zone and put the carpet back in its place. Instead of removing the carpet you could simply flip its borders over to make it seen "insurmountable" to the robot.

Re: Why doesn’t i9 try more ways to get unstuck?

Hi Katharina, the robot does have some strategies when it realizes that it's lost. But the tricky part that takes some time, is often to realize when the reality and the map don't match, so it's time to start relocalization. During this phase, the robot will try for a while to follow the map, and try to go around any "unexpected" obstacles by following them further and further away from the original path, alternating between going left and right. (Because, what if it's just a door that someone closed, or an armchair that was moved?)

But if the robot realizes that it's lost, you're exactly right. It will do as you say and first make a local map and try to match that against the global map to find out where it is. If that fails, it will start "exploring" by following the normal cleaning pattern from scratch, but only doing two laps in each 2*2 m² cell, to quickly cover large areas so it can find a familiar room layout or find the charger and use it as a landmark. When it manages to relocalize, it will either continue cleaning right away or recharge and then continue.

Re: Laser Sensor Glasses; Robot Connectivity

We do not advise that you take the bumper of yourself to replace the glass. There is a new part that will make the window harder to press in that you local service station will put in your robot if you get it to them. Please contact support via the number in the application and get instructions for sending in the product.
Hope you get it fixed quickly

Re: My robots memory or lack of it.

Hi Bazza, sorry to hear about Robbie's amnesia issues!

The robot does at most two pit stops (i.e. three "runs") before it ends the cleaning, so maybe that is the limit that you've encountered? We have tested lots of runs of maximal length to verify that the memory doesn't run out, so I don't think that memory space is the issue.

A simple way to map more area in three runs, is to switch to Eco mode (on Pure i9) or Silent mode (on Pure i9.2). But you could also try to close off some rooms and run a cleaning. Then close off some other rooms in the next cleaning, while leaving some common areas such as a hallway and the room with the charger, in both cleanings. Then the robot should join those into a single map, where you can then define zones to clean the parts you prefer.

Hope this helps!
