Cleaning Pattern
Roomba is a robot that cleans differently than the way most people clean 
their floors. Roomba uses its robot intelligence to efficiently clean the whole 
floor, under and around furniture and along walls. 
Roomba calculates the optimal cleaning path as it cleans and determines 
when to use its various cleaning behaviors:
Spiraling: Roomba uses 
a spiral motion to clean a 
concentrated area. 
Wall Following: Roomba 
uses this technique to clean 
the full perimeter of the 
room and navigate around 
furniture and obstacles.
Room Crossing: Roomba 
criss-crosses the room 
to ensure full cleaning 
coverage.
Dirt Detection: When 
Roomba senses dirt, the 
blue Dirt Detect™ light is lit 
and Roomba cleans more 
intensely in that area. 
TIP:  Roomba takes approximately 5 minutes to clean an average room and  
will pass over the same area of the floor multiple times to ensure total  
floor coverage.
TIP:  For fastest cleaning and best performance, clear your floor of clutter and 
use a Virtual Wall to confine Roomba to one room.

Cleaning Modes: While cleaning, Roomba automatically calculates the room 
size and adjusts its cleaning time appropriately.
Spot Mode: Roomba will spiral approximately 3 feet in diameter and then 
spiral back to where it started, intensely cleaning a localized area.
