Autonomy Intelligence Profile
Robot Autonomy Index methodology →The iRobot Roomba Plus 515 Combo scores 88/100 on the Robot Autonomy Index (RAI), RobotSniper's 0–100 measure of how little human help a robot needs across navigation, obstacle avoidance, automation, and self-maintenance. That puts it in the Highly autonomous tier — excellent everyday autonomy with a capable dock. Occasional human input, but rarely. The sweet spot for most buyers.
