Valetudo is an open-source software solution that allows vacuum robots to operate without relying on cloud services, offering users greater control and privacy. Developed by Sören Beye and supported by a community of contributors, Valetudo is designed for individuals seeking a local-only operation for their vacuum devices. The project is likened to a privately-owned public garden, emphasizing its non-commercial nature and the freedom for users to explore and adapt the software.
