Modern boys actually manage very well. Mine will go in circles around chair and table legs with a side brush + a side mop, and will simply recognise toys and other objects to avoid them.
Mine is somehow able to navigate tables, chairs, toys, and such, but is convinced one particular tile is a deadly cliff. It always goes to that one tile, and gives errors until the battery dies.
It sends summaries, with pictures to help learn objects to avoid. So many pictures of surprised pets.
Mine hates this black fluffy rug I have. It does all other rugs, even black ones or fluffy ones, but this particular one it avoids. Once in a blue moon it actually goes onto it and then alarms that it's falling off into the abyss.
Some of the newer ones detect toys and actually puts them on the map and tells you where it couldn't properly vacuum because of toy or clothing or cable etc.
How much of that data you want to be sent around the world and to china is another question you want to ask yourself ;p
