Compatibility comes first: inclusion is never proof that a model supports your glass or setup.
On frameless glass, the robot encounters an open edge instead of a raised frame. Look for explicit permission in the exact-model manual, including minimum pane size, orientation, edge clearance and any restrictions on gaps or bevels. Edge detection does not replace the tether or a controlled area below. Keep the first run within reach so you can respond to uncertain edge behavior and retrieve the robot without leaning into a fall hazard.
What a product must document
- Exact-model documentation explicitly permits frameless glass
- Edge detection behavior and required clearance are documented
- Pane orientation and minimum size are supported
- Tether, controlled drop zone, and reachable first test are feasible
Questions readers ask
Can all window robots detect a frameless edge?
No. Edge behavior varies and must be confirmed for the exact model.
Is a tether still needed with edge detection?
Yes whenever required by the manual; edge sensing is not fall-proof protection.
