Don’t roombas already have lidars anyway?

Fake image. The cheap webcam is too unreliable on a moving roomba. I would beleive it if it had a lidar or at least a ping sensor but nope, its just a fake image. Please mark it as such to avoid misinformation as someone might recreate it incorrectly. links to classified military documents here

No, none do that I’m aware of. They stuck with vslam for navigation, and later a camera pointed at the ceiling.
Neato (and later competitors) used lidar while irobot proudly marched on into extinction. Their absolute-asshole cs staff as well as those cs policies didn’t help them in this regard.

Oh true, could replace the OS with something better and have it do detection. Not sure if there would be open ports on the board but could attach an esp and have the roomba send commands on wifi or bt. Willing to accept funding for further reasearch, serious funders only.

I think the cheap webcam is for the operator to decide whether to detonate the claymore. The lidar sensor is in front of the webcam.
