Lidar (/[UWSL]ˈ[/UWSL][UWSL]l[/UWSL][UWSL]aɪ[/UWSL][UWSL]d[/UWSL][UWSL]ɑːr[/UWSL]/, also LIDAR, or LiDAR; sometimes LADAR) is a method for determining ranges (variable distance) by targeting an object with a laser and measuring the time for the reflected light to return to the receiver. Lidar can also be used to make digital 3-D representations of areas on the earth's surface and ocean bottom, due to differences in laser return times, and by varying laser wavelengths. It has terrestrial, airborne, and mobile applications.[1][2]
Lidar is an acronym of "light detection and ranging"[3] or "laser imaging, detection, and ranging".[4] Lidar sometimes is called 3-D laser scanning, a special combination of a 3-D scanning and laser scanning.[5]
Lidar is commonly used to make high-resolution maps, with applications in surveying, geodesy, geomatics, archaeology, geography, geology, geomorphology, seismology, forestry, atmospheric physics,[6] laser guidance, airborne laser swath mapping (ALSM), and laser altimetry. The technology is also used in control and navigation for some autonomous cars[7] and for the helicopter Ingenuity on its record-setting flights over the terrain of Mars.[8]

Any thoughts on using robot vacuum cleaners to assist in LDAR?
