Yes, but laser navigation provides more precise measurements and is less likely to be affected by visual occlusions or distractions.

That's true. And visual navigation also has the advantage of being able to recognize and interact with objects in the environment, which can be useful for tasks beyond just navigation.

But I've heard that with advancements in computer vision, visual navigation systems are becoming more cost-effective.

Generally speaking, laser navigation systems tend to be more expensive due to the precision optics and sensors required.

So, in terms of cost, which one is more expensive?
