Congratulations on your purchase, it never hurts to have a good robotic aid. Although you are right it is not the most attractive design. I have seen some on the internet that are like a flying saucer, but I have not seen this model.
A few years ago I worked remotely delimiting thousands of photos of houses, those photos I understood that it was to create an algorithm for these small robots to transit. I imagine, that it would be for artifacts like these, it is very interesting. I hope it will be a great help for you and thanks for sharing.

The flying saucer ones looks much neater, that's what my friend has. But you have to empty the rubbish every time after vacum, that's why there's the ugly toilet part on mine, to self empty into the dust bag, and that only needs to be changed every 6 months. It was trade off between an ugly model and less work 😉
