Consumer Robotics

Consumer robots help with tasks in everyday spaces. A robot vacuum, for example, maps a room, updates its route around furniture, and continues cleaning.

How it works

  1. Sense the room

    Range sensors detect walls and furniture. Some models use cameras to recognize objects on the floor.

  2. Update the route

    A controller uses the room map and new readings to find a path around obstacles.

  3. Clean and check

    Drive motors move the robot while the brush and suction collect debris. Sensors keep checking for changes.
