Processing LiDAR Sensor and Optical Camera Data
Devices with LDS laser ranging technology and optical sensors continuously measure distances to walls and recognize object types on the floor. If the manufacturer uses a centralized cloud, the home layout, resident schedules, and obstacle photos are stored on third-party servers with a risk of subsequent leaks.
How to Limit Home Layout Transmission
- Install the alternative local Valetudo firmware to isolate the robot from external clouds
- Block the vacuum's access to the global internet via home router filtering rules
- Deny the app permissions to use the camera and precise geolocation
- Unplug the device when conducting confidential meetings
