Do You Think Vacuum Lidar Never Rule The World?

Lidar in Robot Vacuums

Robot vacuums use a wide array of technologies to create maps and avoid bumping against obstacles when cleaning. Typically, Lidar is considered the best option.

Lidar is more expensive and slower than other sensors, such as cameras and gyroscopes. Let's examine the way that vacuum lidar works to see if it really is worth the extra cost.

Object Detection

As opposed to cameras, which give visual information about the surroundings, lidar sends laser beams that bounce off surfaces in the room and return to the sensor. The time it takes for the laser to return gives the sensor a sense depth and distance. The sensor can build a 3D model of the surrounding.
