Best LiDAR robot vacuums

Robot vacuums that map by laser, including the retracting turrets that fit under low furniture.

LiDAR is what separates a machine that cleans a room in rows from one that bounces around it until the battery runs out. It also works in the dark, which a camera does not. The cost is a turret on the roof — hence the retracting kind, which maps like the rest and still fits under a sofa.
