When it comes to sweeping robots, Covance can be said to be the leader in the industry, and has always insisted on leading the development of the industry with technological innovation. Recently, Kovos has renewed its sweeping robot product line again and launched a new sweeping robot Dibao T8 AIVI. Let's talk about my experience in the past few days.
Appearance design: high-end black metal wiredrawing style
Let's first take a brief look at the appearance design of Dibao T8 AIVI. The whole machine adopts a round design, which can better adapt to various home environments.
Pure black front
Explore the eyes of the outside world
Replaceable water tank
Black covers the whole fuselage. The top surface of the fuselage is designed with metal wire drawing. The texture is also very good, and the fingerprint proof material is used. Overall, the quality of the whole machine is very good, and the workmanship is as solid as that of Coworth.
Everywhere in the house is very harmonious
At home, it doesn't seem too abrupt, but rather more like an ornament. It is worth mentioning that this time, the T8 AIVI of Dibao also won the German iF Product Design Award in 2020. In general, the appearance of the T8 AIVI of Dibao is worth affirming.
Next, the author will focus on the functions and use experience of the machine T8 AIVI.
Obstacle avoidance and recognition ability: able to see, think and learn
The core function of Dibao T8 AIVI is AIVI ™ Artificial intelligence and visual recognition technology, which endows robots with the ability to think and learn, has brought artificial intelligence to the sweeping robot industry. This technology first appeared on the DG70 sweeping robot released by AWE Covance last March. Covance upgraded the technology on T8 AIVI products, improving AI recognition speed and recognizable types. AI object recognition and obstacle avoidance function is mainly aimed at some common obstacles at home: such as wires, slippers, socks, rugs, etc. on the floor. After the robot recognizes these objects, it will plan the next action targeted to effectively avoid risks.
Dibao T8 AIVI camera module
AIVI ™ Artificial intelligence and visual recognition technology are mainly based on the camera of Dibao T8 AIVI and excellent AI algorithm, which endows Dibao T8 AIVI with the eyes to explore the outside world. The AI algorithm endows Dibao T8 AIVI with a thinking brain. Through a large amount of laboratory data and machine learning, Dibao T8 AIVI has learned to avoid obstacles and learn the layout of the home room, Automatically clean the required area. These seemingly difficult operations are available in AIVI ™ It is natural that the technology bonus will change.
Active avoidance after identifying obstacles
After the author's actual measurement and AIVI ™ As a bonus, Dibao T8 AIVI can easily identify obstacles such as shoes, socks, rags, and data lines, and automatically avoid them without being stuck by data lines or pushing shoes around. This technology solves the embarrassing situation that the sweeping robot cannot clean because it is blocked by obstacles, and also reduces the trouble of manual intervention, so that the robot can really clean independently.
When the robot finishes cleaning, it will automatically return to the charging base for charging and standby, so that the power is sufficient for the next start.
AIVI ™ With the addition of, the sweeping robot can really see, think and learn, which has promoted a major step forward in the industry and led the industry to intelligent development. Predictably, AIVI ™ After continuous iteration, robots will become more and more intelligent and can achieve more and more functions.
Navigation planning: accurate and rapid mapping and intelligent cleaning
The TrueMapping launched by Covos this time ™ Global planning technology integrates many black technologies. We learned from official data that, TrueMapping ™ The navigation technology is equipped with a newly designed high-precision laser radar (LiDAR), and in combination with the dToF (direct measurement of time of flight) technology, the scanning accuracy of Dibao has been increased by four times, and the scanning distance has also been doubled, effectively reducing the navigation blind area, improving the cleaning coverage rate, and improving the ability to clean dead corners and surmount obstacles through algorithm optimization. Many people are familiar with LiDAR, and this application is often used in the technology of unmanned driving. And dToF has also come into our view with the latest release of Apple's new iPad Pro.
According to the actual measurement by the author, the Coworth T8 AIVI can clean a complex office of 20 ㎡ twice in 31 minutes, with an average of 15 minutes. In addition, accurate mapping was also carried out in the process of sweeping the floor. The above figure is the drawing effect of the Coworth T8 AIVI, which is simple and easy to understand. Along the way, I also found obstacles such as shoe cabinet, row and insert board, chair and table.
This performance is quite good among the sweeping robots used by the author.
Cleaning ability: it's easy to upgrade stubborn stains
Although it is called a sweeping robot, it can not only sweep the floor, but also mop the floor. But different from most products on the market, the Kovos T8 AIVI Air is equipped with two water tanks this time. One is an electric water tank for daily mopping, and the other is the OZMO Pro electric high-frequency floor wiping module released for the first time. It is equipped with an electric motor, which can realize 480 times/minute of repeated floor wiping. It simulates manual floor wiping with a faster frequency, bringing strong dirt cleaning ability.
It was very clean all the way
Pour a little liquid on the ground for testing, and you can see that Dibao T8 AIVI can easily remove stubborn stains on the ground, which is faster than the author's mopping. Basically, there will be no stains where the robot passes.
Clean the floor paper easily
Of course, there is no problem with normal cleaning, which can be easily solved.
It can be seen that the sweeping robot can already meet the basic needs of families, not only simple sweeping, but also more difficult mopping. The mopping function is no longer the weakness of the sweeping robot, and Covance has upgraded the cleaning ability of the sweeping robot to a new level.
APP intelligent control: real-time cruise of the whole house, video interaction
Eyes of Dibao T8 AIVI
The camera of Dibao T8 AIVI has a 122 ° wide-angle camera, which enables Dibao T8 AIVI to achieve more interesting functions. It allows users to access the floor sweeping robot at home remotely through mobile phones and other devices. It can realize the whole house fixed-point inspection based on the camera, and will remind users through APP in case of any abnormal situation. It has become a mobile home monitoring device for the whole house. Users can also select any point in the home through the map on the APP for monitoring.
Home in the Eyes of Sweeping Robot
If you have pets at home, you can also roll cats and dogs remotely, which brings new fun to the excrement removal officer like the author. It can be predicted that AI intelligence will be the standard configuration of the sweeping robot in the future.
Dibao T8 AIVI can also manage map areas on the APP, such as creating custom cleaning areas, custom virtual walls, etc. The APP can carry out different cleaning strategies for different areas. Some areas do not need to be cleaned every day. Set up separate cleaning areas, and leave the rest to the robot.
summary
Kevos Dibao T8 AIVI adopts many industry-leading technologies, especially the application of AIVI artificial intelligence and visual recognition system, which can significantly reduce the frequency of manual intervention in sweeping, and truly trust all sweeping and mopping tasks to robots, laying a benchmark for future sweeping robots.
In the process of the author's use, Dibao T8 AIVI gives me a feeling of confidence. I don't care about its sweeping progress, because it can clean every corner of the house in the end.
If you also have a pursuit of quality of life, the Kvoss Dibao T8 AIVI should be suitable for you.
