iRobot Scooba Owner’s Manual
Scooba’s Cleaning Pattern
Scooba is a robot that cleans differently than the way most people clean
their floors. Scooba uses iRobot’s AWARE™ Robot Intelligence System to
determine the best way to pass over and clean every section of the floor.
In most cases, Scooba will pass over the same area of the floor multiple
times to ensure a thorough cleaning.
TIP: For smaller rooms, use less cleaning solution and water. Partially filling the
tank will shorten scooba’s cleaning time.
While Scooba is cleaning it calculates the best path to clean your floor and
determines the best times to use its various cleaning behaviors:
spiraling: Enables Scooba to efficiently clean a large area.
wall Following: Enables Scooba to clean the room perimeter and navigate
around furniture and obstacles.
room Crossing: Enables Scooba to clean new areas while crisscrossing
the room.
Scooba will alternate between
spiraling, wall following, and room
crossing during a cleaning cycle.
TIP: For best performance and floor coverage, clear your floor of chairs, clutter,
and light rugs. use a Virtual wall to contain scooba to one room.
