Smart fridges, virtual assistants, security systems and robot vacuums are providing a degree of liberation from domestic chores not seen since the invention of the washing machine in the 19th century.
Cleaners such as the multi-talented robot vacuum and mop combo, EZVIZ RE4 Plus, allow us to walk away from the tedium of daily chores. Users can schedule routines, saving time and effort to enjoy comfort and convenience without lifting a finger… aside from a few taps on an app, of course.
Read on to discover more about some of the pioneering tech in robot vacuums and how having one could change your life.
Smart tech for the home
Navigation
LiDAR (light detection and ranging) is a mapping and navigation technology that first emerged in the 1960s. Using pulsed lasers to determine ranges, LiDAR was originally used by governments to map terrain and carry out aerial surveillance.
More compact, affordable and capable than ever, LiDAR has recently received attention for its prominence in the development of automated vehicles. It can even be found in some smartphone models. LiDAR’s ability to create precise and detailed spatial data makes it a key player in the future of robotic technology.
The new EZVIZ RE4 Plus features LDS LiDAR technology. LDS stands for ‘large field of view, dual spin’. It scans and maps the layout of the home using 360-degree rotation. The vacuum can store up to five maps, allowing for cleaning across multiple floors.
Smart thinking
Premium-model robot vacuums, such as the EZVIZ RE4 Plus, do not blindly bump around your living space. Rather, they store information about the environment and your routines.
Smart capabilities allow robot vacuums to gather and use data gleaned from mapping and owner instructions to become acquainted with its environment as well as where and when to clean.
Remote app control and map customisation
Via IoT (the Internet of Things) connectivity robot vacuum owners can remotely initiate and schedule cleaning tasks, or customise the map according to cleaning preferences. Does your kitchen need a post-meal sweep every evening? How does your hallway look after walking the dog in the morning? Smart robot vacuums can scoop up in areas where mess is at its worst. Or remotely send your EZVIZ RE4 Plus off to mop or vacuum should an unexpected guest give short notice when you’re not at home.
Obstacle avoidance and drop-sensing technology
Equipped with infrared obstacle avoidance sensors, premium robot vacuums, such as the EZVIZ RE4 Plus, continuously monitor their surroundings. Many also feature drop sensors to automatically detect steps and stairs, and prevent the vacuum cleaner from falling.
Automatic dustbin emptying
Once the robot vacuum has done its business it will return obediently to its base to recharge. Some versions will even save you the sneeze-inducing task of emptying the bag.
The EZVIZ RE4 Plus is paired with an Auto-empty Base, which extracts dust and debris from the vacuum. For typical household use, the dust bag usually needs to be emptied approximately every 90 days.
Why you need a robot vacuum
The smart devices that now grace our homes have come a long way from the clumsy versions of just a few years ago. These smart devices are transforming the chore/life balance. Whether you’re ‘chore adverse’ (aren’t we all), super-busy or have a big messy family these handy little helpers are simple to set up and will get cracking without a grumble.
