On September 15, on the same day of the launch of iPhone 13, at the "Multi dimensional Evolution" new product launch, Kovos launched the industry's first all-around sweeping robot DEEBOT X1 OMNI, the new AI intelligent voice assistant YIKO, the multi-functional air purification robot Qinbao Z1 and other new products.
The price of Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI is 5999 yuan, which has too many selling points. In addition to upgrading to 5000Pa suction and introducing a new mopping system, we will focus on the fully automatic multi-functional base station, the AIVI 3D with driverless technology, and the true voice assistant on the sweeping robot.
For example, 2/3D house type diagram switching, multi Wi Fi automatic switching, 5200mAh battery, real-time two-way voice and video will not be discussed in detail.
Appearance: the most "Nordic" minimalist sweeping robot
Because of the addition of a fully automatic multi-functional base station, the packaging height of the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI is more than 60cm. With a naked weight of 18.7kg, during the unpacking of the new machine, there was only one sentence in my mind: the 5999 was good.
The body and accessories of the sweeping robot are packaged together as usual, and the factory accessories include edge brush, washable mop and mop bracket.
Kovos Land Treasure X1 OMNI has changed to a new appearance ID, which is in the charge of Danish design company Jacob Jensen Design. It has a very distinctive Nordic minimalist style, and its specialty is called "Jacob Jensen". It is the same design of Nordic B&O, which can be perfectly matched with high-end home decoration.
The new design makes the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI the most high-end sweeping robot on the market. And its face cover is magnetic. I was surprised to see it for the first time. I wonder if there will be other colors and shapes, or even co branded face covers in the future?
There are 6 downward looking sensors on the bottom edge of the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI, and a special carpet sensor is on the left side of the universal wheel. The most obvious change of the whole bottom surface is the opening of the two mop supports at the back, the arc at the edge is a lubricating material similar to the mouse foot pad, and the middle holes are used to wet the water outlet of the mop.
On the back of the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI, there are automatic dust collection ports and water tank water injection ports for connecting to the base station. Because the bottom space needs to be mopped, the charging interface is designed above the back.
The tires of Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI have also been improved, with a longer buffer distance, which makes it easier to cross the small threshold, and a more stable posture on the uneven floor.
One thing to say is that Jacob Jensen Design in Denmark has spent a lot of money on design. After adding several components such as automatic dust collection, water tank water inlet, mop support, etc., the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI still maintains a simple and elegant appearance, and designs such as magnetic suction cover, magnetic suction mop holder, and high electrode are wonderful finishing touches.
Re upgraded sweeping and dragging integration: 5000Pa suction+double rotary mop
The suction of the latest three generations of products of Covance has increased from 1500Pa to 3000Pa, and then to 5000Pa of X1 family. This can't be called to get through the two Ren and Du channels, but it belongs to getting through the two Ren and Du channels.
The 5000Pa suction has ignored dust or soil particles, and even the screw head can achieve "no trace". The 5000Pa suction of the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI can even be used to absorb the outdoor wooden floor gaps of the balcony. The garbage and dust that has not been cleaned up can be removed. Cool!
Fully armed and in full condition, Kovos Treasure X1 OMNI
This generation of Dibao X1 OMNI has been changed to double rotary mops. Its shape will remind people of the large equipment in the washing shop. Its principle and efficiency are much stronger than the traditional single piece mops. 180 revolutions per minute, with the automatic pressurization of the sweeping robot, soy sauce, tea bags, coffee, cola, all kinds of old water stains are easy to talk about.
The design of the modified mop support is one of the most elegant parts of the Kovos Land Treasure X1 OMNI. Velcro+magnetic suction, Velcro fixed mop, magnetic suction connected to the sweeping robot and automatically triggered the sweeping and dragging integrated mode of Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI, clean, convenient, simple and comfortable.
Full automatic multi-function base station: shocked
The unpacking of the full-automatic multi-function base station is a shocking process. The three-dimensional 430x448x578mm base station is similar to the size of a miniature dining cabinet, but it integrates the functions of automatic backwash mop, base station self-cleaning, body water replenishing, dust collection, silver ion sterilization, and even hot air drying mop.
The operation panel on the top of the base station has a touch button of "add water/pump water from the cleaning tank, start/pause the host, recall/exit the host". You can even operate the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI without bending down. It's comfortable!
Because the top surface is completely flat and the height is appropriate, it is appropriate to put the base station beside the sofa as a small tea table. Usually, it is not incongruous to put the mobile phone on it for charging or put two books on it.
The clean water tank and the sewage tank are used in different colors, and only the clean water tank has a faucet rubber plug. The two water tanks are respectively equipped with a gate valve structure which is used to prompt the water change of "too high water level and too low water level". Between sinks, Coworth has not forgotten to make a storage box for detergent and telescopic cleaning brush.
The water tank has a volume of 4L, which can be used to clean the mop about 40 to 50 times. The tested house type is about 60 square meters, and the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI will prompt for water change in about three to four days. The system provides three mop backwash gears with an interval of 10 minutes, 15 minutes and 25 minutes. Unless you have experienced a gathering of many people, 25 minutes is enough for daily use.
Below the water tank is the dust collection bin with button pop-up. The dust bag has a volume of 2.5L, which can be thrown monthly under normal use of the official standard, and is equipped with a dust locking slider. From use to dust bag change, the whole process will not touch dust, awesome， This is good civilization.
Below the nameplate on the back of the base station is the silver ion sterilization module (the module has 99.9% sterilization rate in the official experiment). The water in the clean water tank will be added to Dibao X1 OMNI through the silver ion sterilization module first, and the module is replaceable and environmentally friendly.
AIVI 3D： Dimension reduction attack from unmanned driving technology
The most technologically advanced part of the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI is still the structured light and visual identification module in front, and the TrueMapping laser scanning module on the top. From left to right on the front are the camera working indicator, TrueDetect 3D structured light sensor, and AIVI visual recognition sensor.
In addition to the fully automatic multi-function base station, it has saved thousands of lazy users. The generation of Kovos has developed a vision recognition scheme similar to that of driverless cars, making Dibao X1 OMNI a sweeping robot with a "vision recognition+laser" scheme.
Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI uses the same edge artificial intelligence computing platform on driverless cars. The Sunrise 3 AI chip can achieve 416FPS AI performance and equivalent computing power of 5TOPS under 2.5W power consumption. What is this concept? This happens to be the AI computing power level of Apple A12, while the Kirin 980 that integrated the Cambrian AI chip only had 3.84 TOPS.
The computing platform that meets the computing needs of L2+auxiliary driving at the vehicle specification level is used on the sweeping robot by Kovos, which is really a dimension reduction attack. Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI can provide 16 times the computing power of the previous generation. It claims that the accuracy of a single frame is increased by 20%, the speed is increased by 20 times, and 15 object categories can be recognized. In addition to the chip, Covance also improved the self-developed RGB D color depth sensor (the most famous example is Microsoft Kinect).
In terms of technology and naming, Covance has integrated the depth of its own TrueDetect 3D and AIVI visual inspection into "AIVI 3D". In the previous two generations of T8 and T9 series, Kovos has become the strongest manufacturer of floor sweeping robots in obstacle avoidance. T9 has been able to control the distance of obstacle avoidance and surrounding according to the type of objects. The AIVI 3D on Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI is quite like going to other tracks.
In use, the map construction method of Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI is different from that before. Now, the Kovos Land Treasure X1 OMNI only needs to walk some way in the middle of the target area, without edge exploration, and can complete rapid mapping. In the test space of 3 m x 6 m, the construction of the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI was completed in tens of seconds. What limits the mapping speed here is actually the movement speed of the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI, not the performance of the sensor and AI chip.
What is more AI intelligent is that the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI can quickly define the space boundary and build a 3D map of the whole house according to the results of visual inspection and depth inspection;
The Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI can also recognize the image information of the ground, distinguish whether the ground is floor, tile or carpet, and then automatically match the cleaning scheme to control the suction strength, mop water volume and cleaning times;
The Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI will even automatically label the space with room types such as "bedroom, bathroom, kitchen", which is extremely annoying. Think this is over? After knowing the room properties, it will also change the cleaning mode and cleaning sequence according to the room type;
AI visual recognition enables the Kovos Land Treasure X1 OMNI to distinguish between home, human body, cats and dogs, and can make concessions at different distances. It has a special pet cleaning mode, and can even automatically find pets, and use its own camera to remotely suck cats (real owners: your feces removal officers are terrible).
If I hadn't used it personally, I didn't know that the AI chip could help to do so much behind the scenes work. X1 OMNI has largely broken away from the public's traditional understanding of the sweeping robot.
“OK，YIKO”： Sweeping robot with voice assistant
Three microphones are integrated on the dToF lidar sensor of the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI. After wake-up by "OK, YIKO", the measured "Popular" and "Plastic English" can be recognized normally.
Its actual voice experience is the same as that of common smart speakers. Normal volume from 5 meters away can also wake up and support interrupting wake-up (it can interrupt the conversation when replying). What it accesses is the database of Baidu Smart Cloud, asking why the weather, landmark specifications, and simple 100000 are all OK. Surprise！ There is a real voice assistant in the sweeping robot.
The more practical use of YIKO voice assistant is to use voice operation to free hands and apps. The Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI can use voice assistant to query/modify the cleaning mode, suction/water volume gear, area control and other functions available on almost all apps, and can understand natural sentences such as "quickly build a map, go to the bedroom", experience the improvement immediately, which is much more practical than Siri, who is not good at talking about guns:
Ask it "where are you" and "what are you doing?" It can answer its own position and working status, directly inquire about the status of supplies, and also call it to start working or run back to the base station at any time. Although it is fully automatic, you can call it to collect dust, self clean, wash mops and dry mops whenever you want;
In the past, it was necessary to take out the mobile phone and delimit the area to control the machine "to clean or avoid the specific area of the specific room", but now it is OK to "sweep under the bed of the children's room";
In the past, I suddenly felt that a room was dirty, so I had to use an app or move a robot to it. Now Dibao X1 OMNI can track the sound source, saying "call to clean", and it can come to clean it;
If you feel it bothers you, just say "Don't sweep me" and "Give way", it can avoid and change the cleaning order by itself, coooooool。
During voice operation, we can realize that "pie husky" is finally worthy of "robot". The sweeping robot has suddenly evolved so much that I doubt whether I have passed through it? Did you miss several iterative products?
Summary: Automation and intelligence are good civilizations
After T8 and T9 have laid the foundation for building maps, avoiding obstacles and mopping the ground, Cowos has upgraded the goal of Dibao X1 OMNI to full automation and intelligence.
Through the introduction of a fully automatic multi-functional base station and a new mopping system, in addition to the real integration of sweeping and towing, the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI only needs to change the water every few days and the dust collection bag every month. Users do not need to bend down to operate and maintain the body of the sweeping robot, which is close to the non-contact full automation.
On the intelligent side, it is more important to leave 1.5 Chang'an Street of the same industry. Let the sweeping robot be equipped with L2+level driverless car chips, stronger AIVI 3D, greatly improve the speed of map building, so that the Kovos Dibao X1 OMNI can distinguish the types of rooms, furniture, floors and obstacles, automatically match different cleaning schemes, and even find their own pet
It is also amazing that Kovos has equipped X1 with a complete intelligent speaker function, and combined with voice semantic analysis, visual recognition and positioning technology, it can accurately operate the sweeping robot through natural sentences, providing a human intelligence experience similar to Jarvis in Iron Man.
The strongest suction, more advanced double rotary mops, automatic mop cleaning and drying upgrading points in the history of Kevos, which jumped from 3000 Pa to 5000 Pa, will be the main selling points of other manufacturers. However, on the X1 OMNI, the more powerful sweeping and dragging functions only serve as the "supporting role" of automation and intelligence, which is not only low-key, but even Versailles.
The treasure X1 OMNI of Kovos is like the two-way foil thrown by the singer civilization in Three Bodies. The upgrade attitude of the product is a little like Apple's A15: different ranks. It has nothing to do with you.
