Manufacturer claim only
iRobot explicitly says PrecisionVision recognises and avoids pet waste. Vacuum Wars found its overall obstacle avoidance above average, but the published review does not provide a separate exact pet-waste test result strong enough for RightRobot's strict gate.
Important: PrecisionVision is inactive during mapping/training runs, when iRobot says the floor should be clear of pet waste and cables.
Video links open the original reviewer's YouTube video at the relevant timestamp. This evidence is about recognising/avoiding solid simulated pet waste. Urine, vomit, diarrhoea and other wet messes are different hazards and should not be treated as covered by a solid-waste avoidance result.

How this robot performs on the available evidence
Category scores summarise the exact-model evidence currently available. Where sources disagree, that is flagged below.
What the available evidence says
Manufacturer specifications and independent findings are shown together here, with the source type clearly labelled on each item.
The onboard dustbin failed to empty completely during automatic dock evacuation, leaving significant debris behind.
Manufacturer / supporting sourceThe robot struggles to navigate dark rooms without lighting due to its camera-based optical navigation system.
Manufacturer / supporting sourceSound level meter measured the vacuuming noise at approximately 70 dB during operation.
Manufacturer / supporting sourceOne 10-month owner reported recurring failure to charge at the base, rust developing on charging sensors and repeated getting-stuck behaviour despite otherwise good cleaning.
Manufacturer / supporting sourceAnother owner reported charging trouble beginning at roughly ten months and said the robot later stopped running.
Manufacturer / supporting sourceA separate seven-month owner reported frequent clog or sensor/base-bag errors and very inefficient navigation.
Manufacturer / supporting sourceA separate verified purchaser described the product positively overall while noting that mapping/location recording could be better.

What looks good — and what to know
Reasons to consider it
- Vacuuming and mopping in one run suits mixed hard-floor routines
- An auto-empty dock reduces how often you handle collected dust
