irobot never has lidar.

for this model (i8+), it uses camera & VSLAM (uses the camera to determine where it is, to construct a 3D map), not random bouncing

but because it doesn't have lidar, it will "SLAM" against your furniture to determine where it can go (it's more like a touch/bounce, not a hard slam). usually your furniture will be okay

if you don't want marks at all on your furniture, look for lidar robots (those sometimes do touch/bounce against your furniture, but not as badly as a VSLAM robot)

vslam camera vs lidar (there are some robot vacuums that use both lidar + camera for object avoidance)

Front facing camera with object detection and navigation. The J7+ is SIGNIFICANTLY better at navigating and avoiding objects like cords and such. The i8+ is old stuff. I tried both and settled on the J7+ because it was that much better. I can actually trust it without having to prep my floor. It navigates around all of the stuff.

Ok I see a bunch of fancy words in the description on the website, and I still can't tell if this is a smart robot that can navigate (using lidar or whatever) or a dumb one that just randomly bounces off walls and objects.

This is a "mapping" robot, you'll get a smart map where you can name rooms, create borders and "stay out" zones

Pretty cool that this little thing can navigate all the way out to the trash bin to dispose of the dirt. Even Claptrap can't do stairs.

Great vacuum. Got this around thanksgiving (since we got a new dog that sheds like crazy) and it's been running twice a day in downstairs area everyday… battery lasts around 1.5 hours.
It does get stuck on things like nerf gun bullets, store receipts, etc. it also has a hard time with carpeted areas, and rugs. If you have large carpeted areas, then this is not for you…
I have replaced the rollers once with a generic brand one from Amazon.
Overall good vacuum.
