The model we have (that’s only a few years old) works like this. My favorite is when it’s trying to get back to the dock, it’ll just move aimlessly until it accidentally reaches the vicinity of it and can make it home. A lot of times it runs out of battery. Or gets stuck somewhere (in the same spots because I can’t tell it to avoid problem areas).

The new roborocks are great. Truly, one of my best purchases

Just got one myself, even the basic models are much more intelligent than my old roomba. Can’t wait until robot vacuums consistently stop running over cords (a few models do that pretty well, but none under the $1000 range).
