alt Hacker NewsHad a Neato Botvac D7 for many years, works completely offline and it's cleaning route is pretty smart using lidar.
Can't vouch for their newer models just because this one has worked so well for years.

Neato went bankrupt lol
My D7 lost its mapping capability (including markerless no go zone) a few weeks ago due to the new owner pulling the plug early on their server. An enthusiast is jerry rigging an offline solution thanks to a vuln in an earlier firmware, but for those unwilling to solder an esp32 to the debug port of their vacuum they essential got a lesser robot overnight.
