In 2022, clean robots are beginning to change.
After a long period of dormancy and development, clean robots can be said to have sprung up in 2021, and it is not too much to say that it is a hundred schools of thought.
In the general perception, the future should be like the robot in the science fiction movie, can become the role of the nanny at home, the beginning and the end of the two key points are very clear in cognition. But from reality to science fiction, there are still many very vague stages in between, and it is impossible to imagine how clean robots will develop in the next few years based on current technology.
At present, under the premise that the cleaning ability is strong enough, the four functions of "sweeping and dragging and washing" have become the standard of cleaning robots. After experiencing almost all cleaning robots in 2021, I think that the cleaning robot is also like this, the overall use of the feeling is the same, it is difficult to have any big changes, but I did not expect to be chased at the beginning of 2022 W10 Pro and hit the face.
The family's pursuit of W10 has taken half a year, it seems to have disappeared from life, sweeping the floor three times a week, wiping the floor twice, cleaning effect is very good, daily ground maintenance is enough, the rest only need to spend a minute on the weekend to change the water, this is the only contact with the pursuit of W10. There is no sense of what else needs to be updated.
But after the launch of the Pursuit W10 Pro, it was like a sudden realization, the original bucket in the past has a smell that can be handled, and the original obstacle avoidance can really be more fluid.
Cleaning starts with the tank
Compared with the previous generation, the W10 Pro has added a rose gold streamlined trim to the base and the robot body, which can be seen at a glance of the advanced sense of this "Pro".
Compared with the external update, this pursuit of the W10 Pro's improvement in "connotation" can be called "magic".
If you don't pay attention, it is difficult to find that there is a small module at the bottom of the clear water tank of the pursuit W10 Pro, which is the key to making the water tank odorless - the silver ion sustained release particle module. Although this module can also be purchased in some other brands of sweeping robots, its price is also about a few hundred yuan, but it has been made standard this time.
Don't look at just a small plastic box, this is the key prop to track down the W10 Pro to perform the "odor disappearance".
Generally, we think that sewage will emit a foul smell because it contains a large number of bacterial microorganisms, and the sewage tank is a natural damp and dark environment, which is more suitable for microbial reproduction. Over time, it becomes very unpleasant. Deodorization, in fact, is sterilization to a certain extent.
The Silver Ion Sustained Release Particle Module slowly releases silver ions into the water after immersion in water. Silver ions are positively charged cations formed by the loss of one or more electrons by silver atoms, which have an adsorption effect. After the microorganisms in the liquid are adsorbed by silver, the enzymes that play a respiratory role lose their efficacy, and the microorganisms will die rapidly.
After the death of microorganisms, the silver ions will not dissipate, but will repeat the sterilization activities, and the sterilization and deodorization effect is very long-lasting. This also makes the addition of one link in the clear water tank, which can act on all cleaning links.
In the process of cleaning the mop, the silver ion water of the clear water tank will soak the mop, sterilize the mop itself, and ensure that the cleaning source is clean; in the wet mop process, while cleaning the ground stains, while sterilizing; and in the process of mop cleaning and sewage recovery, the silver ions will also enter the sewage tank and deodorize the sewage tank again.
According to the sterilization test report of common microorganisms such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus that endanger human health, the scheme of slow-release silver ion particles used by the W10 Pro this time can achieve a sterilization rate of more than 99.9%, which can be said to be very efficient.
But if someone who knows something about silver ions may feel a little uneasy. Because the human body does not have a mechanism to eliminate silver ions, this means that the silver ions entering the human body will be permanently accumulated.
Silver ion itself is not a new concept, and it is more mentioned as another of his names - nano-silver. If you pay attention, you will find that many of the main "antibacterial and deodorant" products, such as sprays, sportswear, socks and other products, have the shadow of nano silver behind them.
Before the introduction of the slow-release silver ion particles of the Foreground W10 Pro, there were also many products such as silver electrodes and silver ion antibacterial plastics used in clean robots.
However, these products, either the silver ion concentration is too high to cause safety concerns, or the release of silver ions is not good, resulting in a bad effect of antibacterial deodorization, it seems difficult to get both. And the cost is also difficult to control.
An acute oral toxicity test report on the pursuit of the W10 Pro tank proved that the safety of the pursuit of the W10 Pro was reliable enough. The cost of the sustained-release silver ion granules is also manageable enough that it may become standard in the future for other cleaning products.
An unprecedented obstacle avoidance system
If you unveil the sterilization and deodorization magic veil of the W10 Pro, it will look like this technology is so unpretentious, but it is also eye-catching. Then the second technology that focuses on this update is not too much to say that it is a stroke of God.
In the past, we often focused on the navigation technology of cleaning robots, but after LDS won by an absolute advantage, obstacle avoidance technology became another competition track for high-end cleaning robots.
This time, the W10 Pro has a new obstacle avoidance technology solution that uses 3D ToF+ AI visual recognition.
In addition to the original LDS lidar sensor on the W10 Pro, two new sensors appeared, a ToF sensor and an RGB camera.
In the past, clean robots often used mechanical obstacle avoidance solutions. One of the most common phenomena is that the robot crashes into obstacles such as bed legs, table legs or sofas without hesitation, that is, to find boundaries in repeated collisions. I often wonder if the sweeping robot I bought will one day crash and break.
The addition of two new sensors, the LDS laser navigation + AI Action intelligent visual obstacle avoidance solution, really achieved a "zero contact" type of obstacle avoidance effect.
Among them, the ToF sensor is responsible for building the three-dimensional map of the original point cloud; the RGB camera is responsible for taking the obstacle picture; finally, by fusing the ToF point cloud data with the obstacle picture information, the type and distance of the object are accurately identified, the obstacle avoidance or obstacle crossing strategy is judged, and the optimal path is calculated.
In the past, the use of clean robots actually had an unspoken rule, that is, there could be no power cords, cartons and other debris on the ground, and even slippers could become an obstacle to the robot's travel.
For people who want to buy a robot to go home and be lazy, they must first pack up the debris on the ground before they can use it, which seems to be difficult for some strong people. And to maintain this neatness for a long time, it is undoubtedly a fantasy. In particular, the express box is the enemy of a lifetime of clean ground.
This time the pursuit of W10 Pro for the ground debris identification is very sensitive, will avoid debris for cleaning, the official setting for the power cord has a 12cm obstacle avoidance distance, thus avoiding the wire, data line involved in the main brush and failure situation. For clothing such as socks, there is also a barrier avoidance distance of 6cm. It can be said that it is a gospel for lazy people.
Even if you temporarily add an obstacle while it's working properly, the W10 Pro can accurately bypass the obstacle to reach the finish line without a single collision on the way.
It is also the use of this technology that really makes the use of clean robots more free. Don't worry about your items being destroyed by robots.
Even on the map, the location and type of debris on the ground are labeled. Sometimes looking at the work of the W10 Pro, it is a way to decompress.
The addition of AI is not limited to identifying objects. AI will automatically detect the room type, and intelligently recommend the corresponding suction, cloth humidity, and cleaning times according to the key of different rooms. For example, in the bedroom, it will automatically adjust to a quiet suction gear, or in the bathroom, which is relatively humid, the humidity of the mop will be adjusted to dry.
It can be seen that whether it is a slow-release silver ion particle or an AI+ToF sensor obstacle avoidance system, it is a micro-innovation that has been improved on the original technology, but it is a general effect. This is mainly because the pursuit of W10 has laid a good enough foundation to make the whole product "alive" in this step of "eye-catching".
Progress is built on maturity
As the first real sweeping and drying machine, the W10 is already perfect enough in terms of cleaning ability, and the full name hardly requires human participation.
This time the pursuit of the W10 Pro continues the previous D-shaped fuselage design, which can better fit the right angle gap for cleaning.
The sweeping suction force is 4000Pa, and this maximum suction standard is still within the range of the industry's top level. For sweeping robots, the general definition of strong suction is around 2000Pa. The front welt brush is 19.2cm long and has a built-in comb structure design to prevent hair from getting tangled. The dust box capacity is 450mL, which is also at a high level in similar products.
The double disc of the mop module cleans the stains with 180 rotations per minute at a force of 10 N. The fabric is Chenillian noodles, which have strong water absorption, high dust tolerance, elastic fit to the ground, and can better remove ground stains, and can drag up to 226 cm² at a time.
The roller brush and the mop are the same width, and the ground float can be thoroughly cleaned with 4000Pa suction, and then the floor is wiped with a double rotating pressurized module of 180 times / min.
Users can set the mop according to their own needs to automatically backwash after cleaning a certain area, which will not cause secondary pollution of "and thin mud" after dry and wet mixing.
In addition to the three sensors of LDS, ToF and RGB cameras highlighted earlier, there are actually ultrasonic sensors at the bottom to intelligently identify the carpet. Install the mop, in wet drag mode, encounter carpet avoidance automatically, will not get wet and dirty. Remove the mop and in pure suction mode, the carpet will also be automatically pressurized and cleaned.
The water tank is a 4L large volume clean sewage separation tank, so that it is always cleaned with clean water to clean the mop. The cleaning chamber is wet by a fine column of high-pressure water and a particle scraping method to imitate repeated scrubbing by human hands. After the centrifugal drying dehydration mop is finished, the warm air drying function will be automatically turned on. This is also one of the characteristics that distinguish the W10 Pro from other similar products.
The main reason why the mop in life makes us abandon it is the lingering smell of scale and bacteria. It is difficult to let it dry sufficiently every time, especially in the humid environment of the south, and air drying has become a luxury. Through the wrapped design, the W10 Pro solves the drawbacks of drying and wet outside and hardening of the mop through 40 ° warm air. Circulating warm air can dry the mop more efficiently than cold air.
In the Mijia software, there are three modes to choose from: only sweeping, mopping only (the fan is off), and dragging while sweeping.
In the software, you can set up a 3-layer map, and after the map is established, you can distinguish the room according to the actual apartment type, automatically partition it, and name the room. Which area to clean, where it is forbidden to clean up can be set freely.
The long travel of the wheels also means that the ability to climb the obstacle is good enough to achieve a 18mm design obstacle crossing ability.
When the machine encounters an obstacle or a staircase at a height, based on the feedback from the sensor, it can intelligently adjust the direction to return to the safe area.
The W10 Pro is equipped with an independent 4.5L fresh water tank and a 4L sewage tank, coupled with a 6400mAh ultra-long endurance lithium battery, which can sweep the 300 square meters of area at a time, basically do not have to worry about the problem of battery life.
But if your home is large enough, when the power is insufficient during a cleaning task, the machine will automatically recharge, according to the remaining area, intelligently calculate the amount of charging required for charging, and then carry out a thorough recharge after completing the cleaning.
In addition to being controlled through the Mijia App, it also supports multiple voice platforms, including Tmall Genie, Xiaoai Classmate, Baidu Xiaodu, Kyoyuza Voice Control and even Amazon Alexa.
The first month is the year. What I didn't expect was that before the Spring Festival of 2022 was over, Chao Mi had already handed over an answer sheet.
If you stand in the perspective of the entire industry of cleaning robots, in fact, each company has handed over a good answer sheet in 2021, but coupled with the dimension of time, it can be found that the pursuit is the earliest update product almost every year.
"Speed" may not directly explain the problem, after all, a product from project establishment to research and development to the final listing date needs to be considered in a comprehensive way in combination with brand tone and rhythm.
But every time it is the pursuit to go ahead, it will invisibly let other competitors become catch-ups.
It was also from this use of the Pursuit W10 Pro that I began to look forward to what new technologies will emerge in next year's clean robots, just like the iPhone every year.
Finally, the price of the W10 Pro is 4799 yuan, the first is a direct drop of 800 yuan, and the hand price is 3999 yuan. If you report the code of "Pin Play" through the link below, you can also get an extra small love speaker.
