iRobot is getting left behind, technologically. I'll omit the competitor that I use now. I'll just say that it has a base that empties the robot dust bin, refills the clean tank, empties the dirty water tank, washes and dries the mop. And the mop actually looks like something that resembles a mop (and rotates), it's far better than the 'swiffer' kind of thing that the Braava has, or that the J9 has. I don't see the same wet dirt issue because the navigation takes care of that. It does have a camera and the parent company is indeed Chinese. Neato is even worse and their robots aren't much better than they were 5 years ago. They started out really strong but any improvements were marginal.

If it's compatible with that open firmware/ home assistant I'm in for one at least.

As someone looking for a robot vacuum, care to just share to name?

  It's probably a Roborock. I had a Roomba that I found disappointing for years and after reading positive reviews of Roborock here and on Reddit, I finally pulled the plug on an S7 MaxV Ultra. Worth every penny. To be clear, the CCP definitely has a detailed map of my home. But man, I've got two dogs that shed a lot, and it's great. Sometimes you've gotta accept the tradeoffs, y'know?

  Sounds like the Dreame L20 Ultra. I have it, it's miles better than any irobot I've owned.

  I don't know the parent's brand but I have a CECOTECT CONGA 11090 that fills exactly the description. CECOTEC is a spanish brand tho, and may not be available everywhere, and almost sure they manufacter the hardware in China so very possible the same specs are offered by other brands elsewhere, but those are my two cents

    From valetudo.cloud: Conga is a brand that uses existing robot designs with a slightly customized cloud.They’re not a robot manufacturer.
