Ecovacs robot vacuums in multiple US cities were hacked in the space of a few days, with the attacker physically controlling them and yelling obscenities through their onboard speakers.

    The camera is used for visual odometry. They’re usually black and white and very low resolution though.

    Microphone, I have no idea. Could be useful for floor type detection or something? Voice control?
