Roborock Q7 Max cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, as different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, this implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean most flooring materials without much significant issues.
A vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space. Mapping and navigation can be used for different situations, for example the Roborock Q7 Max having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not.
The Shark IQ AV1010AE also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't. Roborock Q7 Max has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions.
Also, the Shark IQ AV1010AE has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, making it possible 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 robot vacuum cleaners and Roborock Q7 Max is one of them. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.
