Sort of a strange question on a Valetudo thread, but have you used Valetudo on a lidar-enabled robot? You can easily clean specific rooms, and I've never seen a lidar robot get lost, and very rarely stuck (usually something like managing to close a bathroom door behind itself).
But anyway: I do think it's worth tripling down on your "average busy person with a cluttered house" pitch. 3D mapping is a huge distraction, although I get that it's unique and your team is proud of it. You're selling the features it enables!
If your site's first content was a time lapse video of Matic navigating a living room covered in toys and charging cords that would tangle most robots, though...
Will add lot of it... before it can navigate precisely, it has to know what's in front of it. Lidar is a one-laser, it cannot see what's above or beyond that one pointer, so it's bumps and tangles with wires/tassles etc. all the time.
Imagine if you could only see just one-inch ehigh of what's in front of you -- not below or above -- then you'd un into tables or chairs all the time. Single pixel lidars are sort of like that.
I understand. IR security cameras can see the beam. Most have a kinect-like dot pattern that isn't purely horizontal, but that's neither here nor there.
I still don't think it's worth much attention. "It's better at avoiding tangles because it sees the world in full 3D".
