Mapping the Home: Robot Vacuum Case Study
Practical case: a two-bedroom condo with tile floors and a short-haired dog. The robot vacuum was evaluated across mapping precision, obstacle handling and scheduled cleaning during low-traffic windows. Results included reduction in daily manual sweeping and identification of optimal docking placement to avoid humidity-related charging issues.
Actionable items: place the dock away from direct sunlight and high humidity zones, run initial mapping with minimal furniture movement, and schedule deep cleans weekly for high-traffic rooms.
