It's Time To Increase Your Lidar Robot Vacuums Options

A New Attack on LiDAR Robot Vacuums

Researchers have discovered a new method that allows malicious actors to spy on homeowners' private conversations via the lidar sensors in their robot vacuums. LiDAR is an optical sensor that emits laser beams in order to detect objects and their position.

It improves navigation in robot vacuums by generating real-time maps of the space and assisting them in avoiding obstacles with precision. This reduces the chance of collision and improves the efficiency of cleaning.

Accuracy

There are many ways robot vacuums can navigate through your home, as technology advances at a a rapid pace. Mapping technologies such as 3D structured light obstruction avoidance, monocular vision and binocular vision are all utilized to provide convenience through algorithms and machine learning. However, the most advanced method is one that makes use of Lidar, also known as Light Detection and Ranging, to map the space and offer accuracy and precision in navigation.
