Current obstacles

Privacy and securityHome maps and sensor data; past Bluetooth vulnerabilities; data protection improvements needed.
Avoid water damage to carpetsMust detect and avoid rugs and water-sensitive areas to prevent damage.

Physics limits

Battery energy constrains runtimeHome robot vacuums typically run 60-120 minutes per charge. Larger homes require docking and resuming, or a second robot. Battery energy density is limited by chemistry.
Dust and pet hair loadingVacuum capacity and motor power limit how much debris can be collected before emptying. Homes with multiple pets or heavy dust loads may need daily runs.
