Just came out the first models of LiDAR 3D scanning robotic vacuums on the market, improving space mapping accuracy by up to 40% compared to traditional infrared sensors. This helps avoid small obstacles like cables or pet paws more efficiently. Is it worth upgrading or is it just marketing? Traditional sensors are still more budget-friendly, but LiDAR tech is already becoming mainstream in mid-range models. How do you all see the evolution of these devices?
Robot vacuum cleaners now come with 3D LiDAR scanning.

If you have a space with lots of furniture or constantly changing obstacles, LiDAR can really make a difference: at my place, it eliminated collisions with chair legs that a classic model kept missing. But if your interior is more minimalist and you just want basic cleaning, infrared sensors are still a great budget-friendly option for starting with IoT!
Interesting development, but does the extra investment in LiDAR really pay off for a robot vacuum when the budget is tight?
