Roomba® i Series, Roomba® j Series, and Roomba® s9 Robot Vacuums use an advanced navigation technology that incorporates Imprint™ Smart Maps. This means that these robots clean, learn, and adapt to your environment. They utilize a camera to identify landmarks and create a map that can be referenced for future cleaning jobs.
Imprint™ Smart Maps can be customized to indicate specific rooms in your home, and robots that utilize Imprint™ Smart Map technology will map the location of the Home Base® or Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal Unit.
These robots clean in a systematic pattern and determine the most efficient way to clean based on the layout of the cleaning area in the Imprint™ Smart Map. These robots also "Recharge and Resume" during cleaning, meaning that when the battery gets low, the robot will return to the Home Base® to recharge its battery for 85-90 minutes, and then return to where it left off to resume the cleaning job. Since the i Series, the j Series, and the s9 use Imprint™ Smart Mapping technology and know the exact location of the Home Base®/Clean Base™, they can return when the battery is low, or the cleaning job is complete.
