Sand is abrasive and can overwhelm a small bin when brought indoors in quantity. Remove the bulk first, then use the robot for a controlled finishing pass.

Thin flexible cables are difficult obstacles for many robots, including camera-equipped models. Route the cable away from the brush path before experimenting with recognition settings.

Chair bases can create gaps the robot enters but cannot turn out of. Changing the geometry of the dining area often solves more than a stronger motor would.
