How to Operate the iRobot Roomba 535

The makers behind this technology have made sure that using the iRobot Roomba is easy. Just to prove to you how simple it is, take a look at the steps:

1. The iRobot Roomba 535 must first be carried to wherever you would like to start.

2. Then, pressing the Power button.

3. Press the Clean or Spot button, depending on which type of cleaning you prefer.
4. Included in the Roomba is a Dock button that allows the owner to instruct the robot to dock with its Homebase.

5. There is also the Scheduler accessory which allows the robot to begin cleaning automatically at the desired time set by the owner.

6. When the Clean or Spot button is pressed, the Roomba starts its work.

The contact bumper installed in the machine is able to detect walls and furniture so that it does not bump into it or break anything. The Virtual Walls can also be used to limit the areas. The infrared signal set by the Walls tells the Roomba which areas to cover. The infrared sensors found at the bottom of the unit prevent the mechanism from falling off stairs and ledges. They also have additional dirt sensors that detect dirty spots so that these areas can be cleaned thoroughly.

The design is based on the philosophy of Rodney Brooks, an MIT researcher and iRobot CTO. He believes that robots should be like insects that are equipped with simple control mechanisms tuned to their environments. The result behind this principle is the best cleaning aid that any household could possibly have.
