# Automated Vibrating Mop Robots The iHome AutoVac Nova Pro Uses LiDAR for Navigation By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2022-08-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ihome-autovac-nova-pro References: [gadgetify](https://www.gadgetify.com/ihome-autovac-nova-pro/) & [amzn.to](https://amzn.to/3wb3MMN)  The iHome AutoVac Nova Pro smart robotic vacuum is an all-in-one cleaning solution for consumers looking to automate their daily maintenance routines. The vacuum works diligently to navigate a space using LiDAR technology and captures dirt using powerful 2,700Pa suction. The unit also features a [mopping functionality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roborock-qrevo-curv-2-flow), which uses a vibrating functionality to scrub flooring at 2,500 rotations per minute for easily removing even stubborn messes. The iHome AutoVac Nova Pro smart robotic vacuum works with the iHome Clean app to help users manage the system remotely and allows for virtual boundaries to be set. The robot will deliver up to two-hours of cleaning time per charge and will automatically return to the station for recharging when power starts to run low. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/robots) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart Home Cleaning Robots:** Opportunity for the development of smart home cleaning robots with mopping functionality and intelligent navigation using LiDAR technology. - **Remote Cleaning Management Systems:** Opportunity for the development of remote cleaning management systems to help users manage smart robot cleaning systems at home. - **Integrated Vacuum and Mopping Systems:** Opportunity for the development of integrated vacuum and mopping systems providing higher cleaning efficiency for consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Robotics:** Developing smart home cleaning robot technology with LiDAR navigation and mopping functionality within robotics industry. - **Home Appliances:** Integrating vacuum and mopping functionality in a smart home cleaning system, catering to the needs of the home appliances industry. - **Mobile Application:** Developing a mobile application for remote cleaning management systems for smart robots and catering to the mobile application industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Low-Maintenance Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-vacuum-and-mop.md) - [Automatic Maintenance Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecovacs-deebot-n8-pro.md) - [Self-Navigating Robot Mops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigma.md) - [Heated Dirt-Detecting Vacuum Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/narwal-s20-pro.md) - [Customizable Two-in-One Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tikom-l9000.md) - [Compact Self-Cleaning Robotic Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfcleaning-robotic-vacuum.md) - [Adaptable Dual-Cleaning Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roborock-qx-revo.md) - [Mop-Equipped Robot Vacuum Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-vacuum-cleaner1.md) - [Self-Sterilizing Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/narwal-freo-z10-ultra.md)
