The robotic arm is the main feature of the J7. It keeps the mop pad in place when not in use, and lowers it when carpeting or hard flooring. The concept is to prevent spraying water on the rug and the Combo J7+ has done a good job of it during my tests. The robot didn't attempt to walk across the rug, even though I moved it around several times.
