it visits every place only once
it leaves out difficult-to-reach places
it does not go along the walls or into corners
it can leave out an entire segment of area
The plan used for systematic move-
ment is not suitable for cramped
spaces. The system often leaves out
these difficult-to-reach places.
Movement along a predetermined
path makes it impossible to visit the
same place more than once. This
leads to a corresponding reduction
in cleaning quality.
Systematic movement consists only
of making one type of movement,
which often leaves an entire area
uncleaned.
We can describe such a robotic vacuum cleaner
as an automaton more than anything else.
The result is not 100% cleaning
but merely giving a surface a quick going over.
The year is 1999, and iRobot is finally abandoning the idea of sys-
tematic cleaning; in spite of it and eleven years later the market is
offering robotic vacuum cleaners equipped with a systematic cleaning ,
i.e. a system that
copies the shape of the room.
The problem is obvi-
ous. Such a robotic vacuum cleaner is more of an automaton than anything
else. The fact that the manufacturers are calling this feature revolutionary is
rather amusing. A robotic vacuum cleaner equipped with a systematic monitoring
is
unable to escape from an unpredictable situation
, as it is unable to adapt;
it simply stops cleaning. In addition to the selected method of cleaning, which is not
the most ideal, the inability to perform well is also due to
lack of enough number of
learned moves.
The low suction power and also the fact that
each place is suctioned only once
do not create
too much confidence, as evidenced by our laboratory tests, on which results we base our further
development. Such a result cannot be considered as a 100% performed work, but
only a quick
crossing of the base.
iRobot Roomba targets successfully for quality work. You simply set the
iRobot and let it do the work, while you doing what you enjoy. Time is of no essence in such case.
