Setup & Mapping
How to Set Up Robot Vacuum Mapping
An accurate map is the foundation for room selection, no-go zones, and scheduling. Getting it right the first time saves re-mapping later.
Let the first pass run uninterrupted
Moving the robot mid-map or picking it up confuses the mapping process. Let the first cleaning or dedicated mapping run finish start to finish before making changes.
Fix obvious layout mistakes
Occasionally a map will merge two rooms or misplace a wall — most apps let you manually edit room boundaries after the fact, which is faster than trying to force a perfect map on the first run.
Re-map after big furniture changes
Moving furniture, especially large pieces near walls, can leave old maps inaccurate. A quick re-map keeps no-go zones and room labels lined up with reality.
