I’ll never understand why they refuse to move to LIDAR. Is it some kind of NIH thing? The sunk cost fallacy of their VSLAM design that they “have” to keep?

LIDAR bots are really cheap. It can’t be the cost of components. And no matter what you could certainly afford to put them on the most expensive bots and leave the really cheap ones with the pointless camera system.

I left the brand over it. There were some things I liked better but their VSLAM implementation is fundamentally flawed.
