I think at least mid tier roombas have the self mapping tech, it would only be temporary until it created a map for itself, then it would avoid the lazboy automatically and you can use it normally

Also, he was talking about a "hat" for the Roomba, it would make it physically taller so it wouldn't be able to go under anymore

You're right that I misread the hat part the first time, thanks. Still not an option for us though, and not one that would actually solve much in our case.

The lazyboy was just one example, there are other things (including areas of the floor itself) that the roomba gets stuck on. Just keeping an eye on the roomba when it runs is the easier solution for us.
