Do You Know What The Obstacle Avoidance Function Of A Floor Cleaning Robot Is?

The obstacle avoidance function of a floor cleaning robot is one of its core performances. It helps the device avoid obstacles such as furniture, cables, and pet waste during cleaning, reducing collisions, entrapment, or missed cleaning. Here is key information about the obstacle avoidance function:Principles of Obstacle Avoidance TechnologiesCurrently, mainstream obstacle avoidance technologies mainly include:• Infrared sensing: It detects the distance to obstacles by emitting infrared rays. It has low cost but limited precision and is easily affected by light.• Ultrasonic: Similar to bat positioning, it judges obstacles using sound wave reflection. It is suitable for detecting dark-colored objects but has weak recognition ability for small objects (such as thin wires).• Visual recognition: It captures the environment through a camera and identifies the types of obstacles (such as slippers, pet waste) with the help of algorithms. It has strong recognition ability, but its effect decreases in low light conditions.• LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging): It constructs an environmental map through laser scanning, enabling precise distance measurement and obstacle avoidance. It is less affected by ambient light and is a commonly used technology in high-end models.

Factors Affecting Obstacle Avoidance Effect• Obstacle size: Small objects (such as wires, coins) are more difficult to identify. Some models need to rely on the anti-tangle design of the roller brush for assistance.• Obstacle color: Dark-colored objects may have reduced sensitivity in infrared or visual recognition, while models with LiDAR are relatively more stable.• Ground environment: Complex ground surfaces (such as the edge of a shaggy carpet, door sills) may test the adaptability of the obstacle avoidance algorithm.When choosing a robot vacuum cleaner, you can prioritize models equipped with LiDAR or a fusion technology of vision and laser according to the common types of obstacles in your home (such as pets, children's toys, cables, etc.), as they have more comprehensive obstacle avoidance performance. PUREATIC ROBOT VACUUM CLEANER N8 is special designed for pet families.
