# What the Ecovacs Goat A3000 LiDAR knows about you

Made by Ecovacs Robotics. 8 findings on record, 8 verified against primary sources. Every line is checked; a maker's claim is labeled as a claim, and we say so when nothing is on record.

## On-device processing

Object recognition and obstacle detection run entirely on-device during mowing. The robot automatically blurs any detected human shapes. Object recognition is off by default.
