Lasers can bounce off reflective surfaces, causing the system to detect false obstacles or miscalculate distances. This can be a challenge in some industrial or outdoor environments.

And with laser navigation, how does it handle reflective surfaces?

Sure. If the lighting in the environment changes suddenly, for example, a shadow passing over the robot's camera, it can confuse the visual navigation system and lead to errors.

Interesting. Can you elaborate on the lighting issue with visual navigation?

Absolutely! Laser navigation, on the other hand, is more robust to lighting changes but might have issues with reflective surfaces or transparent objects.
