Why did "Rumba" abandon the conventional driving pattern?

Irobot was founded by three CEO Colin Angles, a student in the MIT artificial intelligence laboratory in 1992.Robotics has been developed by Robotics, and the first Rumba was released in 2002.Since then, the company, which has always been leading the world's robot vacuum cleaner market, has announced the top model, Rumba 980, which pursues the essence of robot vacuum cleaners.

The essence of a robot vacuum cleaner is to clean the wider area as much as possible instead of a person.I robot's "Rumba" is a world champion of robot vacuum cleaners who recognize themselves and others in all aspects, such as performance, performance, and sales share.However, despite being a king, the fact was that the essence was not perfectly cleared.Until now, Rumba was a running pattern that passed the same place 4 to 5 times, and was good at carefully cleaning one room, but in fact it covers more than one room or a wide range of over 80 square meters.I was not good at it.

"Rumba 980" has caused more innovation in the way so far to approach its essence.Because it was judged that it was impossible to climb to a higher level.At the same time, he had the unique technology of a robot maker, who has been studying the multipurpose robot development platform "AVA" that moves based on the mapping data while visually determining the situation."IADAPT 2.With the function of "0 visual localization", we have learned a new driving pattern that is perfectly cleaned just by passing once.

Navigating the entire floor with various sensors such as cameras and floor tracking sensors mounted on the "Rumba 980" body.Always grasp your whereabouts accurately, and at the same time determine high -precision areas where the room has not been cleaned.As a result, the area that can be cleaned has spread to 112 tatami mats (185 square meters) for the whole house, and can be cleaned every corner of the house.

Even a large house with a number of rooms can now be cleaned in every corner.

However, is it possible to remove the garbage on all floors just by passing once?In order to answer that question, we will develop a "AeroForce cleaning system" that is incomparable to the previous Rumba.Equipped with a "high -power motor unit G3" that achieves up to 10 times more suction power than the conventional model.A special material roller made the garbage up and succeeded in creating a powerful vacuum state inside the rumba due to the airflow created by the motor.As a result, not only the flooring, but also the hair entangled with the carpet, the pets, and the invisible house dust, etc. will not be missed.

In addition, it is essential to increase energy efficiency in order to cover a wide range.Therefore, places with low garbage maintain a certain amount of suction power, and after passing through a lot of garbage, it is intensively cleaned by brushing in front and rear until it is judged to be beautiful.In addition, when removing dust and hair that had entered the back of the fiber, we succeeded in demonstrating the necessary suction power in the right place, such as activating a "carpet boost" that raises the suction power up to 10 times.

Irobot has further innovated, despite the success of the new model.Instead of drowning in what he thought he was good at, he transcribed the essence of cleaning the widespread as much as possible instead of a person, and approached the ideal top of the robot vacuum cleaner one step.
