    It’s been a long time since roombas worked like this.

    Nowadays they are highly systematic, mapping out the entire room and start vacuuming the most optimal route for max coverage

      The model we have (that’s only a few years old) works like this. My favorite is when it’s trying to get back to the dock, it’ll just move aimlessly until it accidentally reaches the vicinity of it and can make it home. A lot of times it runs out of battery. Or gets stuck somewhere (in the same spots because I can’t tell it to avoid problem areas).
