Roborock has just launched a new product, expanding its smart cleaning product range. The Roborock S6 MaxV is a new robotic vacuum cleaner and is the premium addition to the company’s existing S-series. The new robotic vacuum cleaner boasts a longe operation life and advanced obstacle recognition and avoidance.
For those unaware, Roborock is a known robotic vacuum cleaner manufacturer and has even launched products under its own brand and designed certain ones for electronic giants like Xiaomi.
The Roborock S6 MaxV is the company’s first product to be powered by a Qualcomm processor (the Qualcomm APQ8053 chip), which enables the gadget to have “cutting edge AI and connectivity.” The robotic vacuum cleaner features what the company calls a ReactiveAI that allows it to recognize obstacles and avoid them. This includes various hindrances in its path, like people, pets, children, and more. So, parents and pet owners can have fewer worries regarding accidents.
According to Richard Chang, CEO of Roborock, “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.”
In other words, the company has worked closely with Qualcomm to develop a custom chip that suits the robots advanced sensing technology.
