I got a Roomba i7 before seeing this video.. but oddly it seems to know exactly where the base is at any given time. I have stopped it, moved it, told it to go home, and after a few seconds of confusion it seemed to be able to localize itself, because it went to the base without too much trouble or random bouncing around. For the record, the base was on the opposite side of the house from where I told it to go home. Maybe It's because didn't move it very much from its stopping position and that's why it was able to figure itself out, but either way I'm wondering if iRobot has updated it since this video was made. This was after one training run.
Both are clueless hahaha. Try creating a map of your floor plan with the Roborock. Once the robot knows your floor plan it will go straight to the charger with or without obstacles 😮
Seems you did not mapped you floor correctly. Mine goes right straight in the docking station. Of course overall the Chinese robot Destroy the USA designed robot.
Looking at your older videos, you should try this with the J7, I recently got one and seeing this video inspired me to try this test. I'm waiting for my Roborock S7 Max V which I should hopefully get next week so I will try it with that one as well. If you haven't tried this test with the J7, you should, I'd be curious to see the result. I have a two bedroom apartment, I think it's around 900 square feet but not sure of the exact size. My map is complete and I haven't modified it. I put the Roomba in one of the bedrooms and told it to return to base and it worked fine. Then I tried another test, I put it in the kitchen and tried the same test and here is where the navigation totally fell apart. I'm wondering if it has to do with the fact that the robot never returned to the base from the kitchen, but it has completed the cleaning cycle in the bedroom and returned from there. Anyway, in the kitchen, it just spun around for a few minutes and started wandering around. Eventually it found it's way in to the living room where the base is. It got to within 3 or 4 feet of it and then turned and went in another direction. There was another point where the base was literally right to the left of where it was, still didn't see it and wandered away. After 10 minutes I gave up, that is awful. I like the way it cleans my hard floors so I'm going to keep it but I robot is falling behind when it comes to navigation. I think the I7 and S9 bases put out an infrared beacon that the robot uses to find it's way back. With the J7, Irobot removed the infrared sensor so I think the J7 uses a pattern on the base to locate it. I can't wait to try this test with the Roborock.
My Roborock S6 goes back home in a flash without rethinking or rescanning. The S6 has an upgraded brain and new mapping software that was not passed onto the S5 (hence why I spent the extra 100 bucks) but is the S5 really this bad with navigation? It almost looks as if you moved the dock without re-mapping it !
the robot can find the base fastest is viomi v2 pro . first you need to let it map the house properly . I take it far away from the base then send it home . it go straight to home without much thinking
My S5 always finds it instantly. I love my Roborock!
Laser navigation beats camera navigation...by far.

But he did. He mentions that starting at 3:40 of video.
WAIT A GOOOOO IROBOT I7 PLUS YOU DID IT WOOOOOOOOOO 😂😂

The S5 is the bomb!
FBI President The s6 is the Sh@t 😝, Basically the s5 but newer with more Fancy App features 😃
Let's get a Shark in there for the next race!
i have a pretty cluttered apt and my roomba does a pretty god job finding its dock

Our roborock s5 max is super quick to find the docking station.

Mine goes home pretty quick. Usually the camera based robots find their way home better than the laser guided.
LET MAKE A TEST . BRING TWO ROBOT FAR AWAY FROM THE BASE THEN SEND IT HOME YOU WILL SEE . FOR SURE THE ROBOT WITH CAMERA BASE WILL GET LOST
Ever thought... You are the problem???
Get out the way!
T Beck
He was checking the roborock and the roomba still can’t find its way home
Seems we are still a ways off from Terminator global bot domination.
the most stupid robot is Neato . once it leave the base it cant find the charge base until it finish the job or passsing the base a few time .
You did something wrong in your set up for sure.
really
Roomba is so bad 😂😂😂
