Neato (and later competitors) used lidar while irobot proudly marched on into extinction. Their absolute-asshole cs staff as well as those cs policies didn’t help them in this regard.
Oh true, could replace the OS with something better and have it do detection. Not sure if there would be open ports on the board but could attach an esp and have the roomba send commands on wifi or bt. Willing to accept funding for further reasearch, serious funders only.
Don’t roombas already have lidars anyway?
