Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance
Q1: What is the retractable LiDAR on the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro? What does it do?
A: The retractable LiDAR is located on top of the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro. It is a laser radar component with a mechanical lifting structure that dynamically adjusts its height to balance passability and high-precision perception. When high-precision environmental modeling is needed, the LiDAR rises to perform 360° scanning of the surrounding space. When entering low-clearance areas (such as under beds or sofas), the LiDAR lowers to reduce the device height and avoid collision. This design enables the robot vacuum to navigate low-clearance spaces, reduces the risk of getting stuck, and improves cleaning coverage.
Note:
The retractable LiDAR lowers when the robot vacuum is idle on the omni station, charging, or cleaning low-clearance areas. When the LiDAR is lowered for low-clearance cleaning, do not move the robot vacuum as it may affect positioning.
 
Q2: How does the structured light obstacle avoidance module work on the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro?
A: The structured light obstacle avoidance module on the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro uses an infrared laser projector to enable intelligent obstacle avoidance. It projects a specific infrared dot array pattern forward, and the AI infrared camera captures the deformed dot pattern to precisely measure the distance and relative position between the robot vacuum and obstacles. This module is mainly used for real-time sensing of obstacles in the surrounding environment and path planning. It supports recognition of low-height obstacles (such as slippers and toys), reducing collisions or getting stuck. The structured light obstacle avoidance module is located on the front of the robot vacuum, covered by a dark lens.
 
Q3: What to do if the laser sensor of the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro is abnormal?

4. If the issue persists, please contact after-sales support. If the issue disappears but recurs occasionally, please submit the abnormality through Help & Feedback in the Xiaomi Home App.
 
Q4: Why does the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro still collide with or scratch furniture even with the laser/AI recognition sensor?
A: The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro may still collide with or scratch furniture in certain situations:
1. Wipe the obstacle avoidance sensor lens on the front of the robot vacuum with a soft dry cloth to ensure there are no fingerprints or dust.
2. Some surfaces may be difficult to detect, including dark-colored or highly reflective surfaces (such as metal), transparent objects (glass walls), small-diameter table/chair legs, and low-height obstacles. Objects in detection blind spots may occasionally be missed.
3. When ambient lighting is weak, recognition ability decreases for six categories of objects: fabrics, power cables, pet waste, shoes, bases, and body weight scales.
4. When the robot vacuum encounters flexible obstacles like curtains or doors left slightly ajar, it may perform a slow-speed gentle touch or avoid contact entirely. Light contact is normal.
5. If the home environment is complex with many floor obstacles, collisions may occur during escape maneuvers.
6. If the obstacle avoidance sensor malfunctions, collisions with obvious obstacles may still happen.
Note:
It is recommended to observe the robot vacuum during the first use to assist in clearing items that may affect its operation. If certain areas may trap the robot vacuum or cause scratches on furniture surfaces, set up restricted areas in the Xiaomi Home App.
 
Q5: What functions can the AI triple-camera obstacle avoidance module of the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro perform?
A: The AI triple-camera obstacle avoidance module is located on the front of the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro and consists of an AI HD camera, an AI infrared camera, and an AI structured light projector.
AI HD camera: Captures high-definition color images of the environment ahead; used for AI recognition (obstacles, dirt, room types), real-time images, and video manager functions.
AI infrared camera: Captures obstacle outlines using infrared imaging technology, ensuring obstacle avoidance works in any lighting condition.
AI structured light projector: Projects a specific infrared dot array forward; the infrared camera captures the deformed pattern to precisely measure distance and position relative to obstacles.
Together, these provide color vision, night vision, and precise 3D depth perception, enabling the robot vacuum to navigate and clean more safely and intelligently in complex home environments.

A: The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro has a default "carpet-first' cleaning mode. When set to Vacuuming & Mopping mode, the robot vacuum first vacuums all carpet areas without wetting the mop, then returns to the omni station for self-cleaning before proceeding to mop the hard floor areas.
If you do not want this behavior:
1. Go to the map edit settings in the Xiaomi Home App and tap on the carpet.
2. Disable the [Clean carpet first] function. The robot vacuum will then clean normally and clean carpets last.
 
Q11: What to do if the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro reports being stuck in an open area?
A: If the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro reports being stuck in an open area but the wheels are not actually stuck, and it can move normally:
1. Disable the AI recognition function in the App.
2. Switch the obstacle avoidance strategy to [High coverage mode].
3. Test the cleaning performance again.
