Navigation and obstacles

5 of 8 differ

NavigationiHow the robot maps the home. A turret is a raised laser sensor on top. A retractable turret sinks into the body to pass under furniture. Built-in lidar sits inside the body with no turret. A solid-state 3D ToF sensor without a turret counts as built-in lidar. Camera means visual mapping without lidar. Gyroscope only means the robot has no mapping sensor and cleans in rows with a gyroscope. Random bounce means the robot has no mapping sensor and no gyroscope and turns when it bumps into something.

Lidar turret4Reviewvacuumwars.com/shark-ai-self-empty-xl-review-av2501aeRead 14 October 2026Review says it uses a top-mounted LiDAR system. Vacuum Wars says AV2501AE, AV2511AE and RV2502AE are the same robot, with different bins, parts and cosmetics
