Robot vacuum cleaners with camera navigation have a built-in camera that helps them navigate and map your home. The camera allows the robot vacuum to see its surroundings to detect obstacles and smoothly maneuver around them. Some models may also offer additional features, such as live video streaming to a mobile app, object recognition and more.
Some robot vacuum cleaners use both laser and camera navigation to combine their strengths and make up for their weaknesses.
These are the most common alternatives to camera navigation:
