🤖 How Robot Vacuums Work! 🤖

The tiny helper that sees your floor!

👀 What Can It See?

A robot vacuum has multiple "eyes" to understand your home:

🔋 Most robot vacuums use a combination! Cheap ones rely on bumping around, expensive ones build detailed maps.

Status: Waiting to start...

Yellow = vacuum | Green = cleaned | Red = obstacle

1. Random Bounce (Dumb Mode)

Go straight until hitting something, pick a new random direction, repeat. Covers ~95% eventually!

2. Pattern Cleaning

Systematic back-and-forth or spiraling patterns. More efficient!

3. Smart Mapping (GPS Mode)

Remember where furniture is, plan efficient routes, can clean specific rooms on command!

🏠 Advanced vacuums use SLAM - "Simultaneous Localization and Mapping." It builds a map while figuring out where it is on that map!

Side brushes sweep dirt from edges into the path

Agitates carpet fibers to loosen dirt

Fan creates vacuum to pull dirt in

Collects all the dirt (needs emptying!)

Traps dust particles, releases clean air

15-180 minutes per charge, then auto-returns to dock
