Exposed pipes and tight wall gaps can leave small areas the robot cannot reach. Protect the pipes and plan occasional manual edge cleaning.
Table of Contents
A practical checklist
- Check for loose pipe covers and sharp protrusions.
- Observe whether the robot brushes or bumps the pipe area.
- Set a boundary where fragile fittings or a trapping gap make access unsuitable.
What this looks like at home
A narrow space behind a radiator may collect dust while remaining physically inaccessible to a round robot body.
Make the route predictable
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Floor-level objects | Lift leads, strings and loose fabric. |
| Narrow gaps | Check entry, turning and escape space. |
| Protected areas | Use suitable boundaries around hazards. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not bend or reposition plumbing to improve robot access.
