From retractable arms to refined designs, CES was teeming with robot vacuum innovations to keep your floors clean and shiny in 2025.

The Roborock Saros 10R is a dual spinning mop robovac with the company's next-gen StarSight autonomous navigation system.

Robot vacuums have become an increasingly prominent ... a new navigation system with time-of-flight (TOF) sensors, and extendable side wheels that allow it to climb over thresholds.

After relentlessly testing the Roborock Saros 10R for a month, here's our full review, including everything you need to know ...

One notable advancement is the development of a hybrid ToF sensor capable of measuring distances ... accuracy is essential for applications in robotics and motion analysis. CMOS: A technology ...

LiDAR and vSLAM are two of the most popular navigation methods used by today's best robot vacuums. Working in conjunction with various sensors, they help the robot vacuum find its way around your home ...

The LDS puck has an extra ToF (time-of-flight) sensor that points upwards to detect vertical distance. When the robot senses it's entering a reduced-height area, the puck will retract ...

The Roborock Saros 10R is one of the best robot vacuums I've ever tested, and an encouraging omen for the newly-introduced Saros series.

Here's how it works: A cluster of beams of light are sent out from a raised puck that's located in the center of the top surface of the robot. It uses a a ToF (time-of-flight) sensor to measure ...

The company’s InvenSense SmartSonic ICU-30201 ultrasonic ToF sensor enhances the contextual awareness of products that require accurate presence, proximity, and distance measurements. Applications ...
