• Hello Sunshine, The maximum height of a threshold that all Roomba models can transition over, when performing a cleaning cycle, is ⅝ in (1.6 cm), so if the fringe is higher than that, the robot may have issues transitioning over it. If the rug is heavier and the fringe isn't too long, Roomba will simply drive over the rug as it cleans. If the rug is lightweight, not secured to the floor or the fringes are very long and fine, Roomba will navigate around the fringe and may nudge your rug out of its way. If it's problematic, you may want to use a Virtual wall for the rug, or simply pick it up when running your robot.
