It depends on your home. If you have pets, kids, or frequently have items on the floor (cables, toys, shoes), obstacle avoidance is worth the extra cost. In a tidy, minimalist space, a basic robot without it may work fine.What’s the difference between camera and sensor obstacle avoidance?

Camera-based systems can recognize specific objects like pet waste or socks for smarter decisions, while sensor-based systems only detect that something is in the way but can’t identify what it is. Cameras are more reliable but generally more expensive.
