Yes, carpet detection is especially valuable for mopping robots. Without it, the wet mop pad will drag across your rugs and leave them damp, defeating the convenience of having an automated cleaner. With it, the robot automatically lifts the mop over carpet areas.Can I use virtual boundaries instead of carpet detection?

You can, but it’s less convenient. Virtual boundaries require you to manually draw invisible lines in an app every time your furniture layout changes. Carpet detection works automatically without any setup, making it the truly hands-off option.
