A First Look at DJI ROMO Robot Vacuum

Key Features and Functionality:

• Pet Detection and Custom Room Settings: The DJI ROMO can detect pets and allow for personalized room control settings.
• Adjustable Suction and Humidity Levels: Users can adjust the suction power, humidity levels, and the number of cleaning cycles and times.
• Visual Navigation with Space Mapping: Likely to use visual navigation rather than laser-based systems. It will feature a LiDAR system similar to that used in DJI’s Air 3S for spatial mapping.

Personal Thoughts:

1. Innovation from a Hardware Perspective: The product doesn’t seem to bring significant innovation, and there are some aspects that might be considered somewhat outdated given the team size of just 300 people and the intense competition from brands like Dreame, Roborock, and Ecovacs.

1. Visual Navigation Instead of Laser: While visual navigation is cost-effective, achieving good results can be challenging. DJI has the capability to make this work well.

1. Brand Entry with DJI: This suggests that the product’s stability and other aspects have been recognized by the brand. However, entering a highly competitive market like this could lead to significant challenges for profit margins.

1. Shipping Schedule: The products are starting to be shipped out, likely in time for the 618 shopping festival. Given the timeline, it seems they are moving quickly.

1. Time is Running Out: Just as I mentioned that there isn’t much time left for DJI, now it’s also running out for everyone else.

Summary:

DJI ROMO Robotic Vacuum Sneak Peek (Time is Running Out for Everyone)

After releasing my latest video, some supply chain contacts shared details about DJI's upcoming robotic vacuum. Here’s what I can share:

#### Key Product Info:

• Name: DJI ROMO
• Release Date: China’s 618 Shopping Festival
• Price: Not confirmed yet, but likely around ¥3,500–4,000
• Manufacturer: Guangdong Eno Communications

#### Product Features:

• All-in-one Base Station: With clean water tank, dirty water tank, and dust collection.
• Hot Water Cleaning: Likely for mopping pads (no "live water" floor-washing function).
• Conveyor-style Mop Pads: Not dual-spinning like some competitors.
• Base Station Includes Drying Function.
• No Robotic Arm Feature: Unlike brands like Dreame.

#### Hardware-wise, it doesn’t seem groundbreaking compared to current market leaders. The real focus is on software advancements:

• Pet Detection and Custom Room Settings: The DJI ROMO can detect pets and allow for personalized room control settings.
• Adjustable Suction and Humidity Levels: Users can adjust the suction power, humidity levels, and the number of cleaning cycles and times.
• Visual Navigation with Space Mapping: Likely to use visual navigation rather than laser-based systems. It will feature a LiDAR system similar to that used in DJI’s Air 3S for spatial mapping.

* Pet Detection & Personalized Room Settings

* Adjustable Suction Power & Water Flow

* Customizable Cleaning Cycles & Schedules

* Vision-Based Navigation (similar to DJI Air 3S's LiDAR system) with Spatial Mapping

My Thoughts:

1. Hardware is underwhelming—no major innovations, even slightly behind competitors. But that’s understandable given DJI’s 300-person team and the fierce competition from Dreame, Roborock, and Ecovacs.

1. Vision-Based Navigation (not LiDAR)—cheaper but harder to perfect. DJI has the expertise to pull it off.

1. DJI’s brand entry means stability & commitment—this will worry competitors in an already cutthroat market. Profitability? Don’t hold your breath.

1. Shipments are rolling out for 618—timing seems tight.

Last video, I said DJI was running out of time. Now? Time's running out for everyone else.
