Can a vacuum cleaner autonomously plan its route and avoid obstacles?

Yes, many modern vacuum cleaners, especially robotic vacuum cleaners, are capable of autonomously planning routes and avoiding obstacles. This type of vacuum cleaner is equipped with advanced sensors and intelligent navigation technology, which can autonomously identify room layout, furniture, walls, and other obstacles during the cleaning process, thus planning the optimal cleaning path. By using devices such as LiDAR, visual sensors, and ultrasonic sensors, robotic vacuum cleaners can construct a map of the room and adjust their direction of travel in real-time to avoid collisions or getting stuck. They will automatically avoid furniture, stairs, or other difficult to clean areas, ensuring a comprehensive and efficient cleaning process.
In addition, these smart vacuum cleaners can also adjust the cleaning path in real time according to environmental changes. If they encounter new obstacles or change the cleaning area, they can dynamically update their route to ensure that every corner is cleaned. Some high-end models of vacuum cleaners can even remember the layout of the home, develop regular cleaning plans, reduce repetitive work, and provide personalized cleaning for different rooms. Through these intelligent functions, robotic vacuum cleaners can complete clean tasks without human intervention.
