    eufy's steps: check for very dark walls and furniture, which absorb the infrared signals the RoboVac uses to detect obstacles and make it hit them more often; eufy suggests fitting one or two bumper sponges above and below the lens to protect it. If you are unsure whether the lens is badly scratched, eufy says to send it a picture. If none of that helps, eufy says this bumper error can usually be solved by replacing the signal bracket, for the G30, G35 and G40 series only, or by a warranty claim through eufy support.
