Kovos, which has always been the forefront in the field of home service robots, released the latest flagship sweeping robot DEEBOT X1 PRO OMNI in September. Last year, X1 OMNI introduced revolutionary AI voice assistant and full function base station, while this year's X1 PRO OMNI is the first sweeping robot with a full function one-stop base station featuring "automatic mop washing+drying mop+dust collection+cleaning liquid control+automatic water and water".
Even in the whole category of cleaning robots, DEEBOT X1 PRO OMNI has the most complete automatic functions. This generation has also introduced more bionic AI function innovation, bringing the first gesture recognition function in the field of sweeping robots, so that X1 PRO OMNI can understand and understand the natural voice fuzzy instructions of "sweep there, sweep here", and also can recognize pet food to automatically switch modes.
Let's now experience the strongest sweeping robot we can buy in 2022, and see the strongest sweeping robot AI intelligent interaction and the first true one-stop fully automatic base station.
Advanced design+mature structure
Kovos X1 PRO OMNI continues the basic industrial design of X1 OMNI, which is in the charge of Jacob Jensen Design, a Danish design company, with a very distinctive Nordic minimalism and "Jacob Jensen" style. With more high-end black gold color matching, the whole body is frosted, and the materials and texture are more advanced. It is really handsome.
The structural designs of the magnetic suction surface cover, magnetic suction mop rack, six downward looking sensors+carpet sensors, and built-in water tank that have been tested in practice have been retained.
The appearance of the Kovos X1 PRO OMNI is low-key, but it is also a bit arrogant, "I also want to be low-key, but strength is not allowed". The user's psychology is in place, which always makes me feel like a dark knight cleaning my house.
The so-called advanced sense is that you know that black is easier to see dust and harder to manage, but you can't help liking it. Just like the perpetual calendar double tourbillon on Patek Philippe and the calf belt on the Pagani engine cover, they are all right in terms of all the mistakes.
KOVOS YIKO: the strongest AI in the sweeper
Last year, when everyone was still working on the roll suction and base station functions, the DEEBOT X1 OMNI of Covance kicked off the 3.0 era of home service robots and just opened a new track for AI interaction. For the word "sweeping robot", some manufacturers see it as "sweeping", while Covance focuses on "robot".
The definition of household service robot 3.0 in Covance includes omnipotent sweeping+comprehensive environmental awareness+YIKO AI intelligent voice assistant, hoping to make the sweeping robot "live". Peers are still swaying between the two extremes of heavy reliance on apps and no interaction needs. The YIKO AI voice assistant carried by Cowos has been able to complete almost all interactions with voice, even children or elderly people can use it without barriers.
Other sweeping robots are connected to third-party voice assistants such as Xiaoai and Xiaoyi, and use them to transfer. It seems that every conversation is called "butler" first, and then the sweeping machine is allowed to work. The delay is high and the "butler" can recognize very limited instructions. In addition to the instruction richness of completely different dimensions, the most obvious thing about the YIKO of Kovos is that it has independent wake-up words. It is called "it", which responds faster and more directly, making the sweeper more like an independent robot rather than a small love of their accessories.
As the flagship new product of Covance, X1 PRO OMNI should naturally focus on the YIKO AI voice assistant. How much progress has been made.
Kovos X1 PRO OMNI is still a three microphone noise reduction+360 degree pickup, but the speed and sensitivity of voice response are stronger. At a distance of 3 meters, the volume close to whisper can also wake up. Wake up words are more sensitive than Siri and more sensitive than many smart speakers.
This generation's voice response is also very fast. As soon as the voice falls off, the Covance X1 PRO OMNI will say "I am here" to you, as if it has been waiting for you with its ears up. What's more, with sound source positioning, the machine will immediately stop working and turn to you after responding, so that the "pie husky" of the sweeper is much smarter and more obedient than the real husky at home.
Because Kovos has mastered core technologies such as sound source positioning, AIVI TM 3.0 figure recognition and TrueMapping precision navigation, Kovos X1 PRO OMNI has the ability to "summon and sweep". Simply say the ultimate fuzzy command of "sweep here", the Kovos X1 PRO OMNI can combine the sound position and human shape detection to run to your position and start cleaning.
There is no need for special trigger words or to remember the name of the area preset by the manufacturer. Covance X1 PRO OMNI can understand the vague references of "bedroom, study, kitchen, sofa, bed" as well as those of human communication.
Thinks the bedroom is too dirty, and is too lazy to open an app to adjust and change the mopping mode? You can call X1 PRO OMNI "sweep the bedroom" or "wash the cloth". If you are busy working in the kitchen or seriously pursuing the drama, you can use "Don't sweep my place" or "Let me go" to let X1 PRO OMNI avoid your area first (of course, the app can set a no disturbance period, during which the appointment tasks and intermittent scanning will be automatically blocked).
If you think of supplies temporarily, you can ask "Are they due?", use "Where are you and what are you doing?" to keep track of the machine status at any time, and use voice commands such as "base station self-cleaning" or "dust collection" for low-frequency operations. Don't mention the sweeping robot. This is an AI voice experience that has never appeared in any other civilian products.
In addition to understanding your words, Coves X1 PRO OMNI can even understand your gestures now. In the laboratory function, a new function named "point to sweep" has appeared. This is another "zero breakthrough" in the field of sweeping robots, and now it can recognize human gestures with machine vision!!!!
Although it is officially positioned as a "taste of fresh food" function, its actual completion is still high. After hearing the command of "Scan Here/There", Kovos X1 PRO OMNI will first turn to the sound source, and then use its own RGB camera to capture and analyze the characteristics and posture of the user's head/bone key points in real time. The human posture algorithm will determine the relative position and angle information of the trunk and arm, and then place the machine and person in the three-dimensional coordinates of space to determine the target position.
Looking at a function that is light, we need to get through a series of functions including voice recognition, semantic understanding, computer vision, machine learning, map and navigation path planning at the same time. It is a textbook style "we must make every effort to make it easy to perform".
Of course, it is the laboratory function just launched. Now it only supports right hand recognition. The distance to the robot (1.7 to 3 meters) and the distance from the person to the target (0-2 meters) are limited, but the function has taken shape. If you continue to upgrade and expand in the future, it is estimated that the prefix qualifier of "voice" in "YIKO AI voice helper" will be removed soon.
Also in the laboratory function, there is a "particulate matter strategy cleaning". To our surprise, Kovos has set up an automatic "pet sand food mode" to deal with the problem that cat litter and dog food are everywhere in pet families.
The RGB camera of Kovos X1 PRO OMNI can improve the adjustment suction (taking off from Wuhu), reduce the brush speed and movement speed after seeing the particles on the ground, prevent the particles from being blown away, and then gobble them up. Who would have thought that the "pie husky" would grow up so quickly that it could understand the things to be swept? For many years, the users of the sweeper could not help but have wet eyes.
AIVI 3D artificial intelligence and visual recognition with higher "IQ"
If you look carefully, you will find that the AI model has its own version information in the device information of the Kovos APP. It is independent of the robot firmware, which is the only setting in the cleaning robot.
In addition to the above mentioned YIKO AI voice assistant, "summoning and sweeping" and "pointing and sweeping", these AI functions also have a lot of chemical reactions with the AIVI 3D artificial intelligence and visual recognition of Coworth, constantly raising the "IQ" of the sweeping robot.
The difference between Covance X1 PRO OMNI and the previous products starts from the automatic mapping. In the past, what we pursued was the speed and accuracy of scanning, while the Kovos X1 PRO OMNI has been able to automatically identify and generate models of some furniture, accurately identify walls, doors, rooms, restaurants and automatically label spaces.
Therefore, Covance X1 PRO OMNI has righted the 3D map as the main interactive interface, which is more intuitive. In addition to interesting editing, cool and natural visual effects, the furniture data of 3D maps can be used as the target of voice indication, which is an important prerequisite for the realization of the natural voice interaction of "looking at the bottom of the sofa and cleaning the kitchen" by the Kovos X1 PRO OMNI.
There are also many, many, many more function customizations for the Kovos X1 PRO OMNI than the previous products. The most common way to use a normal floor sweeper is to partition rooms, while the Kovos X1 PRO OMNI can even customize different cleaning strategies and sequences for each furniture area, which is extremely strong. It can also add 5 cleaning scenes to the same map, and large household users are ecstatic.
The "IQ" enhancement of AIVI 3D artificial intelligence and visual recognition is also reflected in obstacle avoidance. Kovos X1 PRO OMNI is very decisive in route planning for benches and seats with various spacing ↑
According to official data, Covance X1 PRO OMNI can identify 38 common obstacles such as tea table, ground material, shoes, socks, wires, cat food, beans, melon seed shells, human shapes and pets. In fact, even a few mm thick biscuit snacks, Kovos X1 PRO OMNI can still detect.
After finding the snacks on the left side, I can now intelligently reduce the side brush speed for fear of rolling the innocent chocolate bar into my stomach.
Try crazily around the chocolate bar, and then don't touch the brush, as if it never came.
In front of such AI vision, a large number of automatic functions, such as carpet automatic recognition and pressurization, and automatic adjustment of dust collection frequency according to backwashing time, are natural.
With the strongest computer vision in the sweeping robot, some users may worry about the privacy of the RGB camera, but in fact X1 PRO OMNI has video call and dual Rhine privacy authentication.
The video requires the password lock to be turned on by default. In addition to the working indicator of the camera, there will be a voice reminder "in video" every 15 minutes. In the screenshots of the apps in Covos, there will even be floating window notifications with digital marks like some bank apps. I call the good guy directly.
In addition, the Sunrise 3 chip carried by the Kovos X1 PRO OMNI has 5 TOPS of computing power, and the above mentioned visual identification and calculation can be completed locally without uploading the server, which also eliminates the risk of network leakage.
Re brush recorded suction+9-in-1 true all-purpose base station
The flagship sweeper before the third generation still has a suction of 1500Pa, but later everyone jumped to 3000Pa, and the X1 OMNI last year reached a record breaking 5000Pa.
When everyone thought that the suction arms race was coming to an end, the suction of the Kovos X1 PRO OMNI rose to 5500Pa (you should know that the mainstream products are still 2000-3000Pa...). In addition, the rubber and wool integrated roller brush that can form an airtight chamber at the bottom intermittently did not need to worry about the sweeping ability.
In terms of mopping, OZMO in Covos ™ There is no need to introduce the Turbo 2.0 rotary pressure floor wiping system too much, which is the most mature sweeping and towing integrated structure. These two magnetic mop structures dried by hot air at 180 rpm+2 hours have proved themselves on X1 OMNI last year.
There is no pressure on the solid liquid mixture of summer mulberry chrysanthemum (it is painful to maintain and clean in the later period) ↑
The hot air outlet is near the reflective guide strip of the base station. The maximum temperature of the hot air is less than 48 degrees. At this time, the external temperature of the fuselage is slightly higher than the body temperature, which is environmentally friendly and safe.
The dust collection bag thrown every 75 days can empty the dust box in 10 seconds ↑ (the instantaneous power of the base station is up to an exaggerated 1000W)
The huge clean water tank and sewage tank ↑, adjust the backwash frequency, and Baiping space can also be replaced every few days
The biggest innovation of the cleaning function of the Kovos X1 PRO OMNI is actually derived from its 9-in-1 "true all-purpose, one-stop, one-stop, full-automatic" base station. In addition to the common mop washing and drying mops and automatic dust collection, the Kovos X1 PRO OMNI also adds the functions of automatic water supply and drainage and automatic cleaning fluid addition, which makes up the last piece of the puzzle of sweeping the floor automatically.
Users who see such highly integrated modules and have a little more hands-on ability can make up for the installation process at a glance.
Of course, there is a free on-site installation service for the distinguished automatic water supply and drainage module. Follow the instructions on the package to make an appointment, and wait for someone to install it. No need to do it yourself, and it is more stable.
Although only the interface and water pipe on the back are exposed after installation, obsessive-compulsive disorder still hopes that the water supply and drainage fittings can have an all black version.
In fact, two years ago, there was a third-party automatic water entry and exit device for Covos. All the physical structures have been tested by a large number of experienced users (after all, only geeks with strong hands-on skills will buy third-party kits to modify themselves).
Therefore, this set of water supply and drainage module has a high degree of maturity at the beginning. It has a floating ball valve+Hall liquid level sensor to prevent water overflow. Its own sewage bin filter can prevent blockage and facilitate cleaning and maintenance. The air and water paths that are easy to breed bacteria have antibacterial designs. The pipeline behind the clean water tank has a silver ion antibacterial module (priced at 249 yuan, T10 OMNI/TUBRO, X1 OMNI/TUBRO series are universal, while the noble Kovos X1 PRO OMNI comes with its own factory). Even the dust collection bag has DuPont silver ion antibacterial agent.
The middle is the cleaning liquid tank ↑
The Corvos X1 PRO OMNI body has its own water tank, so Corvos also adds automatic detergent addition and proportioning control functions to the base station. It can not only automatically mix the cleaning liquid, but also automatically control the output according to the water volume of the clean water tank and the fuselage water tank, so that the cleaning liquid concentration of the two water tanks is consistent, which is really a detail that only the flagship model will pay attention to
All these combinations make it the most worry free fully automatic base station, and it has even begun to be as mature and insensitive as traditional household appliances such as washing machines. For the clean water tank and sewage tank of the upper and lower water modules, the official recommended maintenance period is up to half a year, the dust bag is thrown every 75 days, and the maintenance period of the filter screen is up to 2 months. In other words, in non pet families, the Coves X1 PRO OMNI can run for 2 months without maintenance. Gan! This is worthy of being called a lazy savior!
The strongest sweeping robot in 2022 crowned ahead of time
The experience of using Kovos X1 PRO OMNI is full of "Automatic".
The most common keyword in the process is "automatic". The automatic water feeding and drainage function, automatic dust collection, automatic mop washing and drying, and even the addition of cleaning liquid are all automatic.
The 3D map generation is automatic, the addition of core furniture models is automatic, the cleaning strategy switching after visual recognition of particles and ground materials (carpet, etc.) is automatic, and the suction/edge brush speed/motion speed adjustment when encountering different obstacles is also automatic.
When Kovos X1 PRO OMNI hears your voice, it can automatically turn to you and stop the work in hand. It can automatically go to each furniture area in each room to clean with a cry, and can automatically judge the target position with a finger.
All these highly automated and natural interactive AI functions make X1 PRO OMNI and the sweeping robot in everyone's impression not in the same dimension. Only after experiencing the X1 PRO OMNI of Covance can we deeply understand what the "Home Service Robot 3.0 Era" of Covance means.
