Site of the charger for LG VR 6270

See video on Amazon.com This should be short for all the undecided worrying about the future location of the base station for the Hombot. The arguments presented by LG specifications of 1.5m left and right, left and above 2m are free but difficult to implement for some space.
I built the cradle under my TV Board. As long as the Hombot starts from the charging station, he finds this too easily again. In the first experiments he has approached this side and had to drive through the feet of the cabinet. The approach angle was always so steep that he did not make it. If you then give him time to find the optimal Anfahrtweg himself, he seems to learn. Since then, he drives the charging station to always frontally. In the video to see how it is automatically moves back into the living room from the hall way and frontally positioned to the charging station. Then he turns and looks for the beacon station. For the test, I manually driven him from the station down to the hall, so he is started directly from the stand and was not taken up in between. The total is reproducible from various points of the apartment and also from its cleaning mode he drives them easily.

Shortly generally what to write yet to Hombot:
The cleaning performance is very good. We have otherwise a simple vacuum cleaner without rotating brush in use and the contrast it shows especially on smooth floors. This acts since we deployed the Hombot always as wiped because of the very fine solid adhesive dust is not removed with the normal vacuum cleaner, already by the rotating brush. Especially with two free-running rabbit in moulting (twice a week), the dust container after each run always brimming. This, incidentally, were initially not impressed with the new roommate what had almost been a KO criterion for the Hombot. But now they sometimes run behind him already, and he must then often change his route, but is usually later the area was blocked by the hare.
Especially I am surprised about the cleaning volume. Especially for the cleaning performance brought this is enormously low. Since there is already a lot louder when he rumbles on the doorsteps.
And since I was already talking about the actual crux:
Who is willing to accompany him on his first Reinigungnzu and is to defuse all the robot unfriendly places his joy have with him.
For me, the new living room carpet was (the old should anyway away, otherwise KO criterion), because the bed is so high that it just fits so topsy, at the places where they stood on the deep-pile carpeting, he has, however, driven firmly.
Doorsteps: I have cable channels as doorsteps and these were initially too high. Although he went on but when he tipped over to go back down, he saw an abyss and went backward. With taped crash sensors he had no problem with the threshold but after restarting it drove only backwards. The taping of the sensors was so AuCN not a permanent solution. So I bought a new cable channels (0, 9 cm high, the old were 2.5 cm). Now he has no problems more (see video).
High contrasts in soils:
In the children was until recently a carpet with butterflies in which the contours of the butterflies were black on the otherwise white carpet. He recognized this contrast as abyss and ran on this carpet is often in desperate situations. The taping of the sensors also helped here but as already described above, this was not a permanent solution. It would be nice for a next update the shutdown of the crash sensors, at least for households without edges and stairs.
Low headroom:
In some places the Hombot underestimated his own height and tried to go for it is too thick under eigentlicn points. In my particular case, this was once the bed under which he now but comes with new carpet (see above) and once the nursery furniture under the cabinet doors 10cm but were passable at depth as headroom only 8cm had. He has driven fixed on the sharp edges (luckily scratched the wood of the cabinets not its chic surface). Here I cut strips and blinded the cavity so. Initially ranged even thick Zugluftstopper from it.
It would have been certain areas that can be individually cleaned with MySpace Mode store, beautiful. So that you can run it directly from the station clean a predetermined range of most frequently contaminated. So far you have to drive him to the area / take and then leave the area once manually. Since this is only a matter of software, I hope that it is perhaps a later date.

Conclusion
Who is not willing to make any alterations or adaptations to its premises to facilitate the robots work, which I can recommend the unit is not in good conscience.
Who can not be put off should dare to try vacuum cleaner robot.
