Interestingly enough, this isn't possible at the moment, but probably possible in the future. I own a (edit: 980) and they do actually detect when they're on a carpet/rug (they turn on a carpet mode that is basically just sucking twice as hard). However, there is no indication they're saving this data (the maps don't give any information of where Roomba thinks there's carpet, and there's always a delay in the carpet mode when it enters the carpet so its not learning that).

Its these kinds of things that lead me to sort of trust the CEO here with current products. Even after 2 months the map isn't very accurate and the user can manipulate the data (the map gives no indication between walls, the blockers it comes with, and closed doors).

Probably will keep close attention to see if they ever make any upgrades though.
