Perception stack
Track the hardware layer behind mapping quality, obstacle awareness, and confident movement through real homes. Rising signal here usually means navigation hardware is becoming standard rather than staying premium-only.

Use signal for footprint, delta for immediate change, momentum for confirmation, and reliability to judge how much trust to place in the pattern.
How many robots carrying the component were verified in the last 30 days. Treat it as current footprint, not install base.
Change against the last stored snapshot. Positive means more recent verification activity, negative means cooling, and a dash means the baseline is still forming.
Two consecutive moves in the same direction. Use it to separate one-off spikes from signals that are holding their shape.
High reliability means multiple historical checkpoints, medium means limited history, low means the component still needs another capture before comparison becomes meaningful.
The 30-day window is intentionally twitchy. Use it to catch fresh deployment or verification swings, then confirm the move in the 90-day view.
1157 sensor components form the perception layer of home robots — the hardware enabling navigation, obstacle detection, mapping, and environmental awareness. Sensors are the fastest-evolving technology category in home robotics, directly determining how well a robot understands and interacts with its environment. The 30-day trend data above tracks which sensors are gaining or losing adoption across recently verified robots.
Most used: IMU (41 robots), LiDAR (23 robots), Not Officially Disclosed (18 robots), Cliff Sensors (16 robots), Force/Torque Sensors (14 robots).
Components with high signal values and rising deltas are gaining manufacturer adoption — these represent technologies the industry is converging around. Components with declining signals may indicate either a technology being phased out or simply a gap in recent verification activity. Pay attention to momentum alongside the delta: a component with sustained upward momentum across multiple snapshots is a stronger signal of genuine growth than one with a single positive delta. Reliability indicators tell you how much confidence to place in the trend — high reliability means the pattern is confirmed by multiple data points, while low reliability means the trend is based on limited historical data. For purchasing decisions, combine trend data with the individual component detail pages linked from the table, which provide deeper technical context and robot compatibility information.
When evaluating a robot's sensor suite, look beyond the sensor count. A robot with fewer but well-integrated sensors (camera + LiDAR fusion) often navigates better than one with many discrete sensors working independently. Pay attention to the trend direction — sensors showing sustained adoption growth tend to have better manufacturer support and third-party compatibility. Sensors in decline may still function well but could indicate the manufacturer ecosystem is moving toward alternatives.
Compare with the 90-day sensor trends for a broader adoption picture.
