Teach & Map Routes
Best Practices for Autonomous Mode
1. Refer to the zone maps that may already by in place to determine how large of a route to teach your cobot.
2. Teach routes when the area is most clear of obstacles and people that may block the scrubber’s path. This
may require teaching routes outside of your normal cleaning time. It is important to follow this instruction. If
you teach your cobot prior to removing the obstructions the scrubber will not clean the specific area where
the obstruction was previously located.
3. Determine if you are using “Custom route” or “Auto-fill route” mode based on the area you would like to
map.
4. When teaching a route make smooth wide turns, avoid narrow aisles, and do not operate in reverse.
Narrowly overlap routes for best coverage. Use the optional dry mop to limit residual water on turns.
Following these parameters will help prevent the robot from getting stuck in tight spaces.
5. For teaching a route using the Custom route mode, teach the perimeter of your desired area only. The cobot
will determine the best way to scrub the interior of the perimeter it just learned.
6. Avoid U-turns by alternating aisles whenever possible. Be mindful of edging too close to obstacles. If the
area is open and has no obstructions, use Custom route mode for the most optimal teaching.
7. Avoid routes over 45 minutes in length - break up space into cleaning zones based on the capacity of water
tank which could be impacted by water flow settings.
8. To move the scrubber through a non-scrubbable area, lift the scrub deck per operator guidelines.
Test Routes
1. Test all routes to ensure the unit runs each route successfully. Monitor the scrubber during testing and
note any areas of difficulty. Your robot has a “safety bubble” around it making the footprint slightly larger,
ensuring safe operation.
2. If you notice the unit calling for many “assists” when testing your route, scan the environment removing any
obstructions. If the assists persist after obstructions are removed, please retrain the route.
