3 Steps to Fix a Robot Vacuum That Bumps Into Things

Run a sensor reset in the app first Most robot vacuums have a calibration or mapping reset option in the settings menu. Run that before opening the unit.

Clean the LIDAR lens and bumper sensors Use a microfiber cloth on the LIDAR lens, and check the bumper sensor strip for stuck debris. A quick wipe and restart usually fix the problem.

Only try a factory reset if those steps fail Hardware failure is rare. Nine times out of ten, the issue is dust or software, not a dead sensor.
