AI, Smart & App / Automation

Feature-rich app with scheduling, room/zone cleaning, no-go zones, per-room suction/mop settings, and 2D/3D mapping; supports obstacle labeling and some voice assistant integrations, though certain modes like spot cleaning or dock-empty behavior can feel limited to some users.

Auto mode (often described as using a dynamic load sensor) adjusts suction based on floor type and resistance, boosting power on carpets and easing off on hard floors to balance performance and battery life. This smart adjustment is repeatedly cited as one of the V11’s most useful features.

The Roborock app is repeatedly praised as feature-rich and intuitive: mapping, room/zone cleaning, schedules, no-go zones, history, remote control, firmware updates, DND, and off-peak charging are all mentioned. Limitations called out include basic obstacle intelligence and limited mopping controls (including lack of true no-mop zones or water-flow adjustment in some experiences).

iLoop dust sensing adjusts suction automatically and provides real-time cleanliness feedback; app support (where used) adds status/control, and the dock also auto-selects cleaning intensity.

Auto/Medium mode is repeatedly described as sensor-driven suction adjustment based on floor dirt levels, with real-time feedback shown on the LCD. Reviewers generally like the automation for optimizing performance and runtime, though some see the particle data display as more novelty than necessity.

Smart behavior is repeatedly tied to built-in sensors: Auto mode can detect dirt levels and sometimes floor changes to adjust suction in real time, improving cleaning confidence and helping runtime by using high power only when needed (without relying on an app ecosystem).

Feature-rich iRobot app supports multi-map room labeling, schedules, Favorites routines, Clean/Keep Out/No-Mop zones, and voice assistants; Dirt Detective and obstacle photos add automation, though some miss live robot position/progress and find the in-app guide limited.
