Most robot vacuums use a camera or LIDAR to map your home, and in the app you can draw rectangles or lines around areas to block; the vacuum checks that map before each run and routes around those spots.Why are no-go zones important for home cleaning?

Without no-go zones you’d have to babysit the vacuum or move obstacles manually; with them you set it once and the vacuum avoids pet bowls, chargers, or rugs automatically, reducing stress and rescues.
