Really? It can’t do no-go zones and lines without the cloud? Even the „Chinese competition“ can do that without internet.
Not to support this cloud-only system, but I used to own an iR (several, actually) and they can clean the entire space, pause, and cancel/dock with physical buttons.
Though it loses a large chunk of its smarts without a connection. No floor plan retention, no room selection, no 1 pass/2 pass, no knowledge about no-go lines and zones, no adjustable suction based on room…

Afaik there is extremely limited storage on these bots, so the floor plan is stored server-side. No cloud, no server, no no-go capabilities.

Given how cheap flash storage has been for years, this is an intentional design choice. They wanted it to be server side only, likely for data collection purposes.

If only we had things like 1tb storage in a tiny chip
I hope one day we could develop something like this

Line no go up if consumer has autonomy and awareness. Quick, marketing drones, put up more information about our amazing and very complex and totally unique super mega ultra cloud!

The rommbas? Maybe. The other ones? They have plenty storage.

But there’s no real reason for that. Losing the smarts. OSS just artificial and lower bom.
