Another feature that's interesting is object recognition. It will recognize when it encounters an item it doesn't know about and provide an idea of what it could be (it often guesses towels, socks or cables, which is not an ideal solution).

This technology allows the robot to detect obstructions in your home, which are typically hidden by furniture, toys for pets or electrical cords.

It comes with a sidebrush which moves debris away from the direction of its main brushroll if it encounters it.
