I’m having issues with mirrors and ghost maps, besides the map looking weird, it causes problems in finding routes. I was thinking about how to solve this issue and the way I thought is having a feature like invisible wall but indicating mirror, in this case all data coming from that direction could be ignored. Also, it would be interesting to be able to manually erase part of the map.

I'm struggling with the same problem. It would be a nice feature to indicate mirrors with lines and the robot wouldn't extend the map behind that.

I have same problem with my S7 max

Same here. Just got the S7 MaxV for my birthday. First thing I did was have it map the house, and when it reached the mirrored closet doors in my bedroom, it didn't recognize its own reflection (the red area):

I added an "invisible wall" across the door track, but when I sent the robot to clean the room (with the closet door open), it tried climbing the track anyway (note the "obstacle found" icon). I've now added a no-go zone at the closet entrance: Hopefully that helps.

I'm impressed with the mapping ability overall. The S7 MaxV's camera-mapping rendered a pretty accurate map of the whole house on the first go. I also have an iRobot Roomba i7, which I'll be giving to my mom. The Roomba i7, which basically maps by "braille," took about 3 trips to get all the rooms mapped. While the Roomba didn't get confused by mirrors (How can it, when it can't even see them?), it would create imaginary extensions to rooms when it got stuck and didn't realize it.

While both the Roborock and the Roomba have a habit of creating imaginary rooms, neither has the ability to delete them without wiping the entire map.

Who wants to win the race to get that fixed?

I totally agree! I just got an s7 max pro and am very impressed with the mapping ability but have a raised ranch-style house and it gets confused sometimes as it doesn't understand if its 1 map or 2 and it can make invisible rooms in corners with large furniture or mirrors sometimes and that feature would help a lot, I would like a feature for split level too so it can recognize that my house has 2 levels but that the top floor is next to the bottom as it gets confused by how close it is. I would love it if you could edit the map as much as possible such as telling it where you have furniture and having it auto-detect the size and detect when you move it instead like integrating the furniture option with its obstacles more, and if you could fill in space on the map because it detects furniture as walls, maybe even an option to add doors in on the map

I have problems with my mirrors as in one room the mirrored room interferes with another room. The robot then wants to drive through a wall when going from room to room.
