5 Things to Know About LiDAR in Robot Vacuums

LiDAR stands for Light Detection And Ranging It works by firing laser pulses and measuring how long they take to bounce back from surfaces.

It builds a real-time floor plan as the vacuum moves The spinning sensor creates a precise map of your home without the vacuum bumping into objects.

LiDAR eliminates random cleaning patterns Unlike older models that bounce around, it navigates systematically based on the map it creates.

It works in the dark Since LiDAR uses its own laser pulses, it doesn’t need visible light to see and map a room.

The spinning top is the key component That rotating tower on top of the vacuum houses the laser rangefinder that scans the entire room.
