Why does Xiaomi Mi robot vacuum cleaner sweep my house two times before it recharged?

Why can't the robot vacuum cleaner be recharged after partial cleaning?

The map needs to be regenerated for partial cleaning. The previous map and the coordinates of the charging base will be cleared, so please put the robot vacuum cleaner back into the charging base after using the partial cleaning function.

Why does the robot vacuum cleaner prompt for path planning failure?

If the robot vacuum cleaner is moved to a place far away from the breakpoint in the cleaning process, it may not be able to locate its position, so it will be prompted to "long distance movement, path planning failure, start cleaning again". In general, the vacuum cleaner can be positioned correctly and continue to work when placed near the breakpoint.

Why does the robot vacuum cleaner not enter the previously closed room?

The robot vacuum cleaner is divided into different areas to sweep.When the cleaning of the partition boundary is completed, the closed door is ordinary wall or furniture for the vacuum cleaner, so when the boundary cleaning is finished, the vacuum cleaner will not try to enter the area open at the back.

Can the robot vacuum cleaner start the regular cleaning after it is shut down?

The regular cleaning will not take effect again after the robot is shut down, until the machine is turned on by long press or the machine automatically starts up by the host against the charging base.

Why can the vacuum cleaner not through curtains or sheets?

The robot vacuum cleaner's laser distance sensor will mark the curtains or sheets as unreachable area and it will not attempt to cross them.
