The single-line laser module represents a crucial leap for robot vacuums, evolving from “blindly bumping” to “smart path - planning”.
Though not all - powerful, it remains a dominant sensor in mid - to - high - end robot vacuums, thanks to its high cost - effectiveness and mature navigation and mapping capabilities. In the future, by fusing with vision, inertia, and other sensors, it will bring more 智能化 (intelligent possibilities) to home cleaning robots.
Multi - modal Fusion Navigation
Laser + Visual (VSLAM) + IMU enables smarter obstacle avoidance and recognition.
Laser - AI Integration
AI automatically identifies scene types (carpet, floor, obstacle type).
Structural Simplification + Cost Optimization
More compact module design, suitable for slim robot vacuums.
Cloud Intelligence and OTA Upgrades
Laser module data is uploaded to the cloud for training, enabling smarter map - building capabilities.
