iRobot Roomba i6

The iRobot Roomba i6 is a robotic vacuum cleaner designed for automated floor cleaning. It features a multi-surface brush system, dirt detect technology for focused cleaning, and navigation sensors to avoid obstacles and stairs. The robot returns to its Home Base charging station automatically and can be controlled via the iRobot Home App. It includes a bin for collecting debris, a filter for dust, and sensors to detect when the bin needs emptying or the battery is low. The device operates indoors on dry floors and is equipped with cliff sensors to prevent falls.
