Saving several maps does not necessarily mean the robot can use several charging or washing stations. Verify map support and dock compatibility as separate features.
Table of Contents
A practical checklist
- Check how many maps the exact model stores.
- Read the procedure for starting a clean on another floor.
- Ask the manufacturer before buying an additional station or assuming automatic dock recognition.
What this looks like at home
Carrying a robot upstairs for a dry clean may work without buying a second full mop dock.
Give the robot a consistent starting point
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Starting point | Use the model’s recommended localisation procedure. |
| Selected map | Confirm the correct floor and room selection. |
| Physical route | Check doors, furniture and the return to the dock. |
A mistake to avoid
A compatible-looking dock can have different electrical or communication requirements.
