Thanks to the rapid development of the Internet and technology, sweeping robots are no longer a new product, and more and more families are beginning to use sweeping robots. As major e-commerce companies begin to warm up for various shopping festivals, many families also put sweeping machines in their shopping carts. So what kind of sweeping robot is more useful? This article will help you analyze it from the technical principles. Why you must buy a sweeper with lidar

The earliest sweeping robots were nicknamed "artificially retarded" by people. The sweeping robots always bumped into each other while working, and many people thought it was better not to use them. This is because early sweepers changed direction through random collisions, and there was basically no planning for cleaning. This application solution is simple to implement and low-cost, but the cleaning effect is poor, missed sweeps, time-consuming, and the experience is extremely poor.

With the continuous development and advancement of artificial intelligence technologies such as deep learning and machine vision, the speed of selection of sweeping robot products is obvious to all, gradually evolving from the early mechanical type to the current intelligent direction. The second generation of planned cleaning robots has officially debuted. Compared with random cleaning, the second generation has greatly optimized the walking route algorithm of the sweeping robot and is equipped with sensors such as gyroscopes to help the sweeping robot move in a relatively regular and efficient manner. Routes are being cleaned, but there are still problems such as missed scanning and getting stuck on furniture.

This is why when buying a sweeper, you must buy one with lidar. Laser SLAM can measure information such as the angle and distance of surrounding obstacle points. It is characterized by fast, accurate, and small size, that is, fast acquisition speed, accurate measurement, and small amount of calculation.

SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) means real-time positioning and map construction, which refers to the robot creating a map in a completely unknown environment under the condition that its own position is uncertain, and at the same time using the map for autonomous positioning and navigation. In other words, the sweeping robot needs to start moving from an unknown position in an unknown environment, position itself based on position estimation and sensor data during the movement, and build an incremental map at the same time.

The laser navigation sweeping robot determines its position through SLAM lidar scanning. It has high positioning accuracy and can accurately locate even in a light-free environment. The emergence of SLAM technology has realized the leap from "retarded" to "intelligent" for home service robots. It makes it possible for robots to plan their own movement routes in different environments, surpassing the random sweeping method of sweepers.
