This can also help keep them from accidentally destroying sensitive objects or walls, and also avoiding collisions with other robotic cleaners.

Modern robot vacuums include gyro-, camera--, radar- and laser (laser distance sensor, also known as LDS) guided systems that can track your home's layout and provide a record of rooms that have been cleaned.
