Why Does Roomba Have a Camera? Exploring the Benefits and Controversies of Embedded Technology in Household Appliances
Roomba has a camera to help it navigate and map out a room. The camera captures images of the room and feeds the data into the Roomba’s mapping software. This allows the robot to create an accurate map of the room and navigate around obstacles with more precision. Additionally, the camera can be used to help the Roomba find its way back to its charging station.
