Claims against testing

Do robot vacuum AI navigation features actually work as advertised?

Each maker says its camera and sensors steer the robot around what is on the floor. This page sets those claims beside what independent testing recorded for the same model.

Three white robot vacuums cross a family-room floor: one steers toward a dropped sock, one toward a sneaker, each with a pale fan of light from its front sensor, and the third, out on the rug, has driven onto the floor lamp's cord.

The record

What was claimed, and what testing saw

The Dreame L40 Ultra Gen 2 scored 30% in an independent obstacle test against a 66% average, after Dreame dropped its RGB camera. The Qrevo MaxV scored among the lowest a lab has recorded until a 2024 firmware update. No independent obstacle test was found for the T50S Pro Omni.

Same on all three: each uses structured light as one of its obstacle sensors.

At floor height in a hall nook, the Roborock Qrevo MaxV rolls off its tall white dock toward a small toy brick, a pale fan of light from its front sensor landing on the brick.

Questions

What readers ask

Does the Qrevo MaxV's camera really recognize 62 object types?

Roborock’s page says it recognizes 62 types in 20 categories. A review noted the camera did not lift avoidance as expected at first, then found large gains after a 23 Aug 2024 firmware update.

Does a camera matter for obstacle avoidance?

In the one pairing here, the Dreame L40 Ultra Gen 2 dropped its RGB camera and scored 30% against a 66% category average in a review that said the missing camera clearly hurts.

Is there an independent obstacle test for the T50S Pro Omni?

None was found for this exact model. Reviews exist for the older T50 Pro Omni, but that is a different robot, so its results are not used.
