Artificial intelligence is also inviting in vacuum cleaners and especially autonomous robots. Built with sensors, the Roborock S5 Max has the eye everywhere, it finds the best way and tracks the dirt on any surface.
It’s been more than a decade that robots come to clean autonomously at home. These rolling “cakes” come to suck up the soil and return to their base of reloading once their work is done. And it must be said that there has been huge progress since the first models.
Until recently, they used to get stuck all over the house, to fall down the stairs and were mediocre when it came to moving from carpet to tile, for example. example. Today, like autonomous drones, they are barded more and more sensors and are now connected and doped with artificial intelligence.
Roborock’s latest model, one of the leaders in this market, is one of those robot-autonomous vacuums that are “smarter” than the others. The S5 Max is able to swallow dust and mop. In order not to hit the table legs, he maps all the pieces. Better yet, he knows the location and surface of the different coatings of each piece to adapt his cleaning accessories when he treats them. He goes even further, because he knows, for example, that it will be necessary to apply more water to clean a bathroom or a kitchen.
On the occasion of its launch, it is possible to save more than 150 euros thanks to the combination of the pre-order phase of Roborock and the Singles’ Day of AliExpress. Discover the method to follow at the end of the article.
Roborock S5 Max, much less stupid than a broomstick
In all, 13 sensors are placed on the Roborock S5 Max vacuum cleaner. In addition to a compass, an infrared sensor for distances and obstacles, an accelerometer, there is also an odometer! It is from these sensors associated with a laser rangefinder that he will realize his cartography. He will be able to update it by himself if you move a piece of furniture or a chair, for example. It can also cross obstacles from a height of two centimeters.
By mixing this mapping with the AI and its 32-bit quad-core chip, the vacuum cleaner is able to optimize its movements to go faster, while using the battery of 5,200 mAh less. The latter has a range of 150 minutes. Once the robot returns to its base, the complete charge lasts six hours. And if the capacity is not enough to complete the household, the robot simply makes the necessary energy supplement to finish.
