BOBOT Mopping Robot (MIN580) - smart robot for cleaning floors, new of the year. Designed for wet and dry cleaning of laminate, tile, linoleum and other hard coatings. The robotic floor polisher is stylish, compact, has a GPS navigation system, easy to use and manage, with an improved battery (li-Ion 2000 mAh) can work autonomously for up to 3 hours. I will talk about the technical and functional capabilities of the model and analyze the pros and cons.
Equipment
The robot vacuum cleaner comes in a cardboard box with plastic handles for easy transportation. The package shows the model and technical specifications. Equipment:
- Robot vacuum cleaner.
- Charging cord with adapter.
- Navigation block.
- USB-Micro USB cable for charging the cube.
- Plastic pads for two modes of operation.

Appearance
The robot is designed in a modern, discreet style. Traditional rectangular shape with rounded edges. The case is made of high impact plastic in glossy black.
The top panel has three control buttons. Central - enable / disable work, side ones start the mode. Pressing one of the buttons twice means stop. Under the buttons appear light indicators that inform about the current position of the robot. The navigation sensors are highlighted in the center in the form of a white circle.
A soft bumper is placed around the perimeter of the body; a napkin pad is attached to it. Two wheels, two legs and a connector for charging are placed at the bottom. The feet are equipped with sensors that prevent falls.
The GPS navigation box is in the form of a cylinder. A round GPS button is located on the front panel: holding it for a couple of seconds, the navigator establishes a connection with the polisher - the blue backlight lights up. At the bottom there are 4 legs, an on / off button and a charging connector. Weight - 1.35 kg. Dimensions - 245 × 220 × 80 mm.
Functionality
The manufacturer provided 2 modes of operation: wet and dry cleaning. Dry - Auxiliary: This mode does not clean carpets, but prepares the surface for wet cleaning.
Dry cleaning - removes hair and crumbs, is used for mild pollution, does not require additional action. Duration - up to 180 minutes.
Wet cleaning - cleaning the floor from stubborn stains, dust, debris, it is useful for heavily soiled floors. Time to restore order - up to 120 minutes.
Dry run robot start-up scheme:
- Install a navigation unit in the middle of the room, turn on GPS by connecting the unit to the device.
- Insert a dry cleaning cloth, secure the case.
- Place the robot on the floor, turn on the start button.
Wet cleaning mode:
- Establish a connection between the navigation unit and the robot.
- Fill and install a water tank.
- Wet a wet wipe, attach with Velcro.
- Place the assistant on the surface, turn on the start button.
GPS navigation "Polaris" - the robot remembers the space around itself, objects and creates the most favorable route without obstacles. The robot can closely approach the barriers without leaving “dead zones”.
If the floor polisher is discharged during work, it remembers the place and starts work from the same location. Charging time is 4 hours.
