What is Neato Robotics RPS (Room Positioning System) TechnologyTM?
Neato’s Room Positioning System is the first laser distance sensor suitable for consumer products. RPS technology gives the robot a full 360-degree view of a room so it can create a map of the room, detecting walls, doorways, furniture and other obstacles up to four meters away. With the RPS system, the Neato XV-11 carefully avoids most obstacles that other robots can only detect by impact. In some cases, if it doesn’t see an object, it will lightly bump into it.
