5 Things to Know About LiDAR in Robot Vacuums

LiDAR uses invisible laser beams to map your home The spinning tower on top fires lasers that measure how long they take to bounce back, creating a precise real-time map of walls, furniture, and obstacles.

It’s the same technology used in self-driving cars LiDAR is scaled down to fit on a robot vacuum, but it works the same way — by building a detailed 3D map of the environment.

LiDAR works in the dark Since it uses lasers, not cameras, it can map and navigate your home even with the lights off.

It’s more accurate than camera-based navigation LiDAR maps are precise down to the centimeter, so the vacuum avoids bumping into furniture and covers every inch of open floor.

The spinning tower is essential for full coverage That tower isn’t decorative — it rotates to scan 360 degrees, letting the vacuum see in all directions as it moves.
