I have a question! Everything is perfect with the vacuum cleaner, but when it meets a mirror, the lidar sensor goes crazy and draws rooms on the map that aren't even there! This makes the cleaning process very difficult! Please feel free to ask me if they can fix it and if you need more information (I'm not sure about the hardware number).        Thanks!

Mirrors are reflective. It will reflect the robot vacuum's LiDAR scanning, causing the vacuum to "think" there is still open space in front of it.


To prevent the robot vacuum from creating non-existent areas on the map due to mirror reflections, here are two suggestions.
1. Adjust the height of the mirrors so they are positioned higher than the robot vacuum.
2. Attach something on the bottom portion of the mirrors that can block or absorb the mirror's reflections.
