SLAM uses sensors like lasers or cameras to measure distances to walls and furniture, then stitches these measurements into a live map so the vacuum knows where it is and where it has cleaned.What is the difference between laser-based SLAM and camera-based SLAM?

Laser-based SLAM uses a spinning tower with invisible beams to measure distances and works perfectly in the dark, while camera-based SLAM uses a camera to see landmarks; laser is generally more accurate and less confused by lighting changes.
