Setting up your organization
6.6 Sharing the co-botic 1700 with multiple users
When setting up multiple users it is important to note that users are created on their
individual phones and then they are able to share access to the machines. User accounts are
not stored on the machine or in the app. User data is stored in the cloud and then each user
can share a single room or the entire organization.
1. Each user should set up their own account on their own app (see Section 6.2-6.3 in this
user manual)
19

“Home Management” screen (see steps 3-5)
10. From the “Home Management” screen, select “Join Home”
11. Enter the code from step 7
6.7 Mapping and routes
The co-botic™ 1700 will make its own map as it
moves through a space. It will map either when
you
press the button in manual
mode, or when you
start it from the app. The maps are stored in the
cobot and then accessed from the cobot by the app
when needed.
1.
Press the green start button and it will change
to a pause button. This will cause the cobot to
start generating the map.
2.
The cobot will begin to clean while it maps and
also begin to build the logic for how it will clean
in the future.
3.
After completion,
it will continue to clean in this
method every time
4.
If you have a preferred cleaning pattern, you
may also view and run the pattern by using the
“Record” feature to look at past cleanings and
maps.
