Question about Roborock S7
Does this robot recognise walls and furniture? Does it brake beforehand or does it drive into them and brake only then? I have to get rid of my iRobot Roomba, they are too stupid for recognition. That's why I don't want to make the same mistake again.
Helpful answer
The Roborock S7 has laser navigation and also infrared sensors. This allows it to brake in front of objects. There are situations, e.g. with a round table leg that is not too wide, where it would move carefully around these chair legs, the side IR sensor also helps.
However, the Roborock S6 MaxV currently offers the best navigation. It has an integrated 3D object recognition. It can recognise objects by means of cameras. The navigation is also done with laser and IR, but it would have a bit more possibilities to avoid hitting things. As a rule, the robots with laser navigation are extremely careful.
Laser navigation is very helpful for object detection in general, because the robot recognises where it is, creates precise maps and stops when something is close to it. The technology has its limits with smaller objects, of course, but the Roborock S6 MaxV would be able to recognise lamp bases or scales on the ground as such. It would also be a little cheaper at Digitec.
