The vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, for example the iRobot Roomba i7 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not.
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. iRobot Roomba i7 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's path, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions.
Also, the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and iRobot Roomba i7 supports this feature. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.
The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in spaces where there are locations that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum.
