Recliners change their floor footprint when opened, and moving mechanisms can trap a robot or cable. Keep the furniture position predictable during scheduled cleaning.
Table of Contents
A practical checklist
- Run the robot only when the recliner is stationary in a safe agreed position.
- Secure the power lead and inspect the path underneath.
- Use a no-go zone where the mechanism presents a trapping risk.
What this looks like at home
A route that is clear under an upright chair can close as the footrest moves.
Measure the lowest point along the full route
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Front gap | Measure the rigid opening. |
| Inside route | Check support rails, fabric and stored items. |
| Exit | Make sure turning and returning are possible. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not operate a recliner mechanism while a robot is underneath it.
