LiDAR turns the Q5 Pro into a methodical row-cleaner instead of a bumper car

The Q5 Pro’s LiDAR does something older robot vacuums can’t: it knows where it is and where it’s been. Instead of bumping into furniture and bouncing off at a random angle, it maps the room and cleans in organized rows — like mowing a lawn instead of playing pinball. The result is faster cleaning with better coverage. If you’ve ever watched a bump-bot miss the same spot three times while over-cleaning the same corner, you know why LiDAR matters. It’s the difference between a robot that looks smart and one that actually is.
