Why does the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X20 Pro crush the obstacles when cleaning?

The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X20 Pro has an LDS laser sensor and a Line laser sensor, which can detect obstacles and slow down in advance. However, some dark, reflective, small table and chair legs and some shorter obstacles are difficult to be detected and the robot vacuum will not slow down in advance, which is normal.
For your reference, here are more detailed explanations for this phenomenon:
1. Small or irregularly shaped obstacles will not be detected as effectively by the robot vacuum’s sensors. Objects with reflective surfaces or those that are very close to the floor can be harder for the robot vacuum to recognize and avoid;
2. The robot vacuum uses navigation algorithms to map and clean the environment. In some cases, the navigation system miscalculates the distance to obstacles or is unable to map out certain areas accurately, causing it to bump into objects;
3. Dirt, dust, or other obstructions on the sensors can affect their ability to detect obstacles properly. Regular cleaning of the sensors is important to maintain optimal performance.
