How does the j5+ avoid obstacles like socks and cables?

The j5+ uses PrecisionVision, a camera system that recognizes objects like socks, toy cars, and charging cables, and steers around them instead of hitting them. This is a huge leap from older robots that relied on bump-and-hope navigation and would tangle themselves in cords. It’s not perfect, but for anyone who doesn’t want to pick up the floor before vacuuming, it’s the feature that matters.
