“Is it safe when my cat walks around while the robot is cleaning?” “If my dog runs with a toy in its mouth, will the robot bump into it?” For pet households, the biggest concern is the safety of interactions between pets and robot vacuums. After 30 days of real-home testing, we can answer these worries—and reveal the secret of the robot’s “gentleness.”
1. Navigation Precision: When Pets Dash Across, Does the Robot “Brake Hard” or “Gracefully Avoid”?
It’s common for pets to suddenly run across the room. This model combines LDS laser with visual tracking to recognize pet movement patterns (like a cat jumping or a dog sprinting), adjusting its speed and path 0.3 seconds in advance. In tests, when a cat darted across 1 meter in front of the robot, the robot slowed down to 2 cm/s and smoothly passed by the cat’s side—without startling it. (Ordinary robots tend to brake abruptly, which can scare cats into jumping.)
2. Obstacle-Avoidance Design: Soft Rubber Bumper + Cliff Sensors Mean “No Hurt Even If They Collide”
What if the robot does bump into a pet? Its 1 cm-thick soft rubber bumper absorbs impact, while the body tilt angle stays under 3°, preventing any chance of pressing down on the pet. Cliff sensors at the bottom also stop the robot from tumbling down stairs while “chasing” pets.
User Feedback: One dog chased after the robot and accidentally bumped into it—the robot stopped, and the dog tilted its head, then continued playing. “When it hit me, it felt like a pillow brushed against me—didn’t hurt at all!” the owner laughed.
3. “Pet-Friendly” Cleaning: No Hair Tangling, No Residue on Floors
Pet families often struggle with tangled hair. This model’s integrated rubber-and-bristle roller brush helps: the rubber part “combs” through tangled hair while the bristle part gathers it up, reducing hair entanglement by 90% (compared to 30% with regular robots). Its edge-cleaning mode also removes debris under sofas and beds—preventing pets from licking or ingesting it.
Veterinarian’s Advice: “Robot cleaning reduces pets’ exposure to dust and bacteria, which is especially beneficial for pets with sensitive respiratory systems.”
Conclusion: For pet households, safety means more than “not bumping”—it means gentle coexistence. With precise navigation, soft rubber design, and effective hair handling, this robot doesn’t just clean—it protects pets’ comfort and health.
