Can a robot vacuum keep its wet mop off the carpet?

Short answer

Yes. Current vacuum-mop combos lift their mops on carpet, from about 10 mm to 28 mm, and several can leave the mop pads at the dock.

Why it matters

A combo robot that drags a wet mop across a rug soaks it, so many owners still split vacuuming and mopping into separate runs.
