It's likely that the fringes could get caught in the robo, just as they could with a real vacuum. That's why you get one with virtual boundaries. Caveat: when it's first running and mapping, you need to manually block off areas where you don't want her to go. Once you have the map, and create your boundaries, you needn't worry about fringes or other areas where she may get stuck or shouldn't go.
