Functional capabilities
Here's an overview of the main operating modes of the Samsung VR10F71UB:
- Auto – automatic cleaning of the room by a robot vacuum cleaner.
- Spot – thorough cleaning of a specific area of the room, can be used to collect scattered small debris.
- Max – maximum cleaning area until the battery is almost completely discharged.
- Manual – manual control mode for the robot’s movement using the remote control.
- Turbo – when this mode is activated using the remote control, the rotation speed of the turbo brush increases and cleaning is performed more intensively.
- Dust Sensor – when dust gets inside the Samsung VR10F71UB, the robot vacuum cleaner begins to thoroughly clean the space around it (activated by remote control).
- Timer – the robot starts cleaning at a preset time.
- Weekly Schedule – create a cleaning schedule by setting the time and day of the week.
The Samsung VR10F71UB can navigate in a zigzag pattern and follow walls. The robot vacuum features the Visionary Mapping Plus system, which combines a state-of-the-art computer chip and an onboard camera. The camera records the device's surroundings at 15 frames per second and creates an interactive map of the home, allowing the robot to determine the most optimal route.
The vacuum cleaner is equipped with multiple sensors to avoid and minimize the risk of collisions with obstacles, as well as tipping over and falling from elevated surfaces. Additionally, the device has a sensor that stops the side wheels, turbo brush, pair of side brushes, and suction motor when it is lifted from the floor.
