A good way to explore the algorithms of the robot is to set it out to run in the night. At the entrance of the room, set a high obstruction. Set up a tripod. Take long exposure photos every minute or so. Then turn on the lights/wait till day time. Take another photo. Overlay the photos in an editor program. Spot the missing areas.
EDIT: here are some examples by other people: https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/home-robots/long-exposure-pictures-of-robots-cleaning https://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/home-robots/lon...
And here are some resources if you have a Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner (also sold as RoboRock) https://github.com/dgiese/dustcloud https://github.com/dgiese/dustcloud

- jwandborg 7y agoI'm assuming you forgot to mention the light on the robot in the dark. In order to get the progression of the run, you could have an RGB LED sweeping through a color scale during the run.
- Goz3rr 7y agoThe Xiaomi ones map out and display their path in the app, no long exposure photos needed
- systemtest 7y agoThe Roomba e5 I briefly owned only worked with all the lights on.
