How Do Vacuum Robots with Mapping Navigate?

When we talk about revolutionary home cleaning devices, robot vacuums – arguably the most popular smart home device on the market – will definitely come to mind. How does a robot vacuum know where to go and navigate through the obstacles? These intelligent devices combine advanced sensors, mapping algorithms, and artificial intelligence that can detect and map your house strategically. Unlike traditional models that follow preset patterns, robot vacuums with mapping capabilities take a systematic approach to efficiently clean the space without missing spots.
If you're thinking about getting a robot vacuum with mapping and want to learn more about this technology, you're in the right place.

How Do Robot Vacuum Navigate

Robot vacuums use different technology and sensors to navigate your home. Generally, smart vacuums start by mapping the environment – utilizing cameras, lasers, or infrared sensors to create a detailed map. After scanning the surroundings to detect walls, furniture and other objects, they then process the data and generate a map that will serve as a reference for planning efficient cleaning paths. While different brands and models of robot vacuums may use distinct types of sensors, they typically feature obstacle sensors, cliff sensors and wall sensors. For example, our DEEBOT robot vacuums uses LiDAR technology with DToF laser sensor to build precise 3D maps, allowing them to recognize obstacles like furniture and stray toys, and adjust the cleaning path without delays.

How Does Robot Vacuum Mapping Work

In a robot vacuum, mapping works by scanning the environment with cameras and sensors to create a map for path planning.
As a leading robot vacuum manufacturer, we employ the AINA 2.0 Intelligent Navigation Model system to enhance navigation capabilities in DEEBOTs. By combining deep learning and reinforcement learning technologies with dToF sensors, these smart vacuums provide real-time navigation and obstacle avoidance responses.
When it comes to object avoidance, the enhanced AIVI 3D 2.0 technology recognizes furniture, rooms, and obstacles via an auto-grade 960P star-light level camera and RGBD sensors. With strategic avoidance, disruptions during the cleaning process are minimized.
Since the technologies mentioned above do not rely on ambient light, DEEBOT robot vacuums perform equally well even in dark environments.
