“Is it possible to run the Shark Ion Robot RV750 at night when it’s almost or is completely dark? Or does there have to be some form of light?”

• Like the sharks in the Ocean, our Ion Robot has no problem functioning in darkness. It has a few different sensors and uses infrared (like TV remotes) to "see" objects around it. You see this when it comes up to a large obstacle (like a wall), it slows as it approaches and never touches the object. If it encounters a small object (like the leg of a chair), it doesn't "see" it but stops when the "touch" sensors come into contact with the leg. It has infrared sensors that "see" when it's coming to a ledge and reverses directions. It also has magnetic sensors to stop it from going across any magnetic boundary strips.
