The New Roborock S6 MaxV Sets Innovative Navigation Standard in Home Robotics

Leave a comment

HONG KONG, April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Roborock, developer of ultra-intelligent vacuum cleaners, today introduces its latest product innovation, the Roborock S6 MaxV. This premium addition to the company’s S-Series lineup is the first Roborock vacuum to include a stereo camera, allowing advanced obstacle avoidance technology called ReactiveAI. In addition, it’s the first product to be powered by a Qualcomm® APQ8053 processor chip from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. – giving the MaxV cutting-edge on-device AI and connectivity performance. Its ReactiveAI enables the vacuum to not only recognize, but also avoid a range of common robot trapping obstacles, meaning people, especially parents and pet owners, can run their robotic vacuums with fewer worries than ever before.

Roborock S6 MaxV Robotic Vacuum

“The seamless integration of ReactiveAI with our advanced laser technology allows the Roborock S6 MaxV to estimate the size and location of common obstacles and the best way to clean around them, setting the standard for our smartest navigational robot vacuum yet,” said Richard Chang, CEO of Roborock. “The powerful image processing technology behind it has led us to work with Qualcomm Technologies for the first time, a journey we are delighted to begin as we continue to imagine the next generation of robotic vacuums to navigate today’s world.”

This vision is echoed by Dev Singh, senior director of business development and head of autonomous robotics, drones and intelligent machines at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “The advancements that Roborock has made in the Home Robotics industry these past years are remarkable,” said Singh. “We’re thrilled to work with Roborock on their first product to launch with a stereo camera and a Qualcomm APQ8053 heterogeneous processor – powering the MaxV with cutting-edge on-device computation performance plus long-lasting battery life – in an effort to bring the next generation of innovative robot vacuums to life.”

Advanced Obstacle Recognition and Avoidance

  • Stereo camera – The Roborock S6 MaxV is equipped with a stereo camera on the front that captures detailed images at a maximum speed of 30 fps, allowing powerful image processing to recognize and avoid common obstacles including pet waste, scales (weighing), or shoes.
  • ReactiveAI – This obstacle avoidance technology utilizes a Convolutional Neural Network for image processing – trained on tens of thousands of images and powered by a fast and powerful Qualcomm® APQ8053 processor.

Roborock’s Most Powerful Robot Vacuum Yet

  • Powerful suction – With its 2500Pa of suction, which offers 25% more suction power than its predecessor the S6, the S6 MaxV is Roborock’s most powerful vacuum cleaner ever launched, now picking up even finer dirt from hard floors and reaching deeper into carpets.
  • Battery life – The S6 MaxV also has an extra-large 5200mAh battery – allowing it to clean for up to three hours (in quiet mode). Smart Top-Up allows the robot to recharge just enough to complete a large clean when needed.

Beyond Hardware

  • Multi-level maps – New clever software features are continually being introduced. In particular, multi-level mapping technology, a feature in high demand by customers, allows the robot to automatically recognize different levels of a home.
  • Every floor can now have its own set of No-Go Zones and No-Mop zones, and the already popular automatic room recognition feature – which automatically splits each level into rooms – can also be extended to multiple floors.

The Roborock S6 MaxV will be available in the US at the end of Q2 for $749 RRP.
In addition, the company also added the Roborock E4 to its E-Series lineup today. The robotic vacuum, available on Amazon for $299, features precision sensors and an internal map, enabling it to know where it has cleaned and what areas still remain.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Based on its recent analysis of the global autonomous drones market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Israel-based Percepto with 2020 Global Enabling Technology Leadership Award for its best-in-class, end-to-end autonomous drone-in-a-box solution.

“Operators can remotely start, monitor, and complete tasks with Percepto’s autonomous, intelligent drones through the cloud-based, user-intuitive dashboard, allowing them to continue their business operations from anywhere in the world,” said Michael Blades Industry Analyst and VP of Aerospace, Defense & Security. “It notifies operators in real time, enabling operations and security teams to respond to incidents proactively, ultimately optimizing productivity, safety, and security. Further, it monitors a client’s worksite for any external interference, such as a malicious or unauthorized individual, drone, or vehicle; safety risks such as leaking pipes, or improper safety practices such as an employee not wearing a hard hat or high-visibility safety vest.” The main cost savings comes from consistent and persistent inspection, proactive monitoring and active reporting that the system provides.

Meanwhile, with the outbreak of COVID-19, businesses are rethinking their business continuity strategies, their ability to maintain efficiencies while many employees cannot get to the site, and the response to emergencies. In this scenario, autonomous solutions that take critical actions on behalf of operators are emerging as new best practices, The Percepto Solution’s ability to operate in harsh weather conditions and integrate seamlessly with third-party technologies makes it the ideal tool for operators in diverse industries including automotive, critical infrastructure, defense, industrial, mines, ports, and utilities.

The company works closely with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States to stay abreast of new drone regulations and flight programs and to obtain regulatory approvals. Approvals such as remote flight controls and operations without a visual observer when flying beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) increase the versatility and ROI of each system deployed. Percepto’s drones enable clients to optimize security and inspection practices by autonomously completing tasks such as perimeter patrols and infrastructure inspections.

“Percepto complements its technology with stellar customer support and an unwavering commitment to meeting business-specific needs for clients,” noted Blades. “In 2019, Percepto added fully-automated high-resolution two-dimensional mapping capabilities and three-dimensional modeling to meet customer and market demands. The company’s customer base and revenues continue to grow as potential clients and existing customers recognize its unique drone offering and price/performance value.”

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to a company that has developed a pioneering technology that not only enhances current products, but also enables the development of new products and applications. The award recognizes the high market acceptance potential of the recipient’s technology.
