This page is dedicated to the disassembling of a Roomba 560 vacuuming robot. Its purpose is to provide AIRLab users (or anyone else) wanting to hack a Roomba with a guide to the process, so that they can plan their work easily. Other Roomba 500-series models should be similar to the one featured in this page.
Please note that the robot we have taken apart was well-used, so you will see a fair bit of dust and dirt on the parts... all for the sake of realism (just joking... simply, that was a broken robot we could spare in case the process proved to be fatal :-) ).
The images included into this tutorial are low-resolution (480x320 pixels). You can download high-resolution versions of them (and some other) from here.
Before dissection
On the right you can see the Roomba 560 before any disassembling had occurred.
This is the top view. It shows the control panel and little more (although on the top you can see the omnidirectional sensor and the bumper, there's not much to note).
This is the bottom view. This is more interesting, as you can see all the moving parts.
