These devices represent the most mature and best-selling category of home service robots worldwide. Since the appearance of the first models in the early 2000s, their technology has evolved considerably. Equipped with laser sensors (Lidar) or cameras, they are capable of mapping a home, avoiding obstacles and returning to their charging base on their own. This democratization of service robotics has opened the way to other consumer applications, such as robotic lawn mowers for gardens or robotic swimming pool cleaners.Their success can be explained by their ability to free users from repetitive and time-consuming tasks, thus offering an immediate gain in comfort. Today, they fit perfectly into the connected home ecosystem, controlled remotely via a simple smartphone.
