Approx. 1.5 cm of threshold can be traveled with special
driving system, therefore, all the rooms can evenly be
cleaned. However, for the sake of safety, the threshold of
more than 1.5 cm can not be crossed.

Threshold traveling

Dust of every corner can be neatly cleaned by approaching to
the corner as much as possible through the minimizing of
colliding impact as the velocity is reduced by 7 obstacle sensors
when encountering with obstacle and through the relieving of the
colliding impact by 2 bumper sensors during the cleaning. (The
obstacle sensor displays higher sensitivity against bright obstacle.)

▌Soft bumping

Falling will be prevented by the 3 falling prevention
sensors through the detection of falling danger areas
such as stairway, porch, entrance door, etc.

Falling prevention

If lifting the robotic vacuum cleaner while it is in operation,
the motions of driving wheel,
power brush, suction motor, and side rotating brush will
be stopped due to the detection of the sensor.

Safety device

When the remaining amount of battery is not sufficient, the
charger induces the robotic vacuum cleaner, therefore,
rapid and accurate automatic charging can be performed.

Automatic charging

Dust is removed by the rotation of dual side brushes.
