Is there something I can do about my roomba and my oriental rug?

Question

I've got a few old oriental rugs on a floor of my house that have fringes on two sides.

I've also got a roomba; he's very sweet.

When he tries to vacuum around the rugs, sometimes he gets caught and requires assistance.

Is there something I can do to help alleviate this issue?

Note: "cut the fringes off" will not be accepted.

Some report that newer robot vacuum cleaner models can handle rug fringe trim up to 3½" long. — Stan, Commented Dec 7, 2019 at 5:28

I would tuck the fringes under the rugs, then let the roomba do its thing.

When its done, shake out the fringes again.

I had to tuck about an inch and a half of the rug under, as well; just tucking the frills under didn't stop my industrious little friend from trying to eat them.
