Due to the growing implementation of AI and automation in household equipment, the domestic robot market reached a high growth rate in recent years. For example, the development of machine vision cameras has rapidly expanded. As such, companies have begun using these 2D and 3D machine vision cameras with AI technologies to effectively map edges of various rooms and areas such as staircases, and to recognize obstacles, such as dustbins, and cables, doorsills, and rugs. Typically, a domestic robot is a service robot used for various household activities such as floor cleaning, pool cleaning, lawn mowing, or for various medical and disinfecting purposes. Such robots are usually autonomous in nature and are controlled by an integrated control system.
