Tapo Robot Vacuums are equipped with sensors that are strategically placed in multiple locations, including the top, frame, and undercarriage of the vacuum. These sensors play a crucial role in preventing the vacuum from falling off edges and entering restricted areas, known as No-Go Zones.

To ensure optimal operation of the vacuum, these sensors should be cleaned once per month.
