I want a robot vacuum cleaner, but it's troublesome to clean up the floor.

Surely many people have forgotten the robot vacuum cleaner in this way, but the robot vacuum cleaner "Roborock S6 MAXV" announced the other day headed for this task with the power to see.In addition to mapping, two -eye camera and AI analysis will be cleaned and cleaned.

AI seems to avoid "footwear" and "code", and even "pet feces" to avoid them at the optimal distance.If this can be achieved, it is safe even if the floor is a little scattered, even if the cat shit is scattered on the floor.The hurdle that welcomes the robot vacuum cleaner will go down dramatically.

This time, I was too worried about the ability to avoid it, so I borrowed the product and tried it.

Perhaps many people are worried about "Is it possible to avoid poop?", But first read it in order.I will introduce the advantages and disadvantages, including the comparison with the rumba I had used (although I was using the rumba i7).

If you are worried about this whereabouts, it's about the middle.

Roborock S6 MAXV

What is this?: Robot vacuum cleaner with two cameras

ikura?: 86,800 yen

Favorite place: Accurate mapping ability and approach

I don't like it: A common suction structure

Because the distance is known, there is a strong approach to the corners and furniture.

｢Roborock S6 MAXV｣はレーザーで部屋の形状をマッピングします。レーザー式は夜間など、暗がりでも正確に部屋のカタチがわかるので、時間帯や光量を問わず正確に、素早くお掃除できるのが特徴。

The laser mapping to make the floor plan was really accurate, and I drew the floor plan on the app perfectly.

From the app, you can see the movement of the robot during cleaning, so it is interesting to see that "Oh, I'm going there now."

In addition, the accurate distance to the object can be understood by having eyes in front of the human eye.It rarely touches furniture compared to Rumba, which boldly heads to the walls and furniture and touches it.It is gently touched, has a high quietness during cleaning, and does not get dirty or damaged by the walls and furniture underbody.

Boldly challenge a narrow space, and the side brush will deliver the end of the wall firmly.

In Japanese families, multiple furniture tends to be placed in a small space, and it is not an environment that is easy to run for robot vacuum cleaners, but this kindness and accuracy are for Japanese homes.Isn't the approach to cleaning using a sensor better than Rumba?I also feel.

In addition, my home has a Japanese family called "carpet on tatami", so there is a hard mode area for robot vacuum cleaners, but I personally evaluate that I did not turn the carpet.hey.In the case of Rumba, I turned the carpet with a side brush and sometimes dive under the carpet and had a big adventure, but I have never been here yet.

ルンバはトラブルに際した時の対処や脱出は上手いんですが、｢Roborock S6 MAXV｣は、そもそもトラブルにならないような配慮が施されています。

AI recognition that avoids and reports obstacles is still developing

I mentioned earlier that "consideration not to be troubled", but the best thing is to recognize an object with a two -eye camera.Also, what is the analysis by AI?I will also judge.If you find something dangerous while cleaning, measure the distance and what is AI?Recognize and avoid it if it is dangerous.

こうして回避した障害物は、アプリのログから確認できます。これにより、ロボット掃除機を使うためには、床にモノを置かない生活にしなければならない。という最大の障壁を下げられるのが｢Roborock S6 MAXV｣の狙いです。

These objects can be recognized at the moment.It seems that the avoidance distance is different depending on the type.It is said that critical items such as "pet feces" take more distance and avoid them.

Now, the main subject is here.Everyone will be worried, do you want to avoid poop?I did an experiment ...

In conclusion, poop (fake) stepped on.

However, one thing to keep in mind is that the fake poop made that resembles a poop, not the real poop.Please note that it is an experiment that lacks accuracy and reproducibility because it is like an Evangelion that resembles Adam.If OK, please continue.

First, I put a fake poop in the living room.

As a useless knowledge that can be used tomorrow, adding cardboard to water and kusukushu becomes a poop style.This time, this is placed on the floor, considering this as a poop.

It's a disaster.

At first, the robot was often stopped at the camera, but in the end, it was inevitable that it could not be avoided.

Looking at the app log, fake poop was recognized as "other obstacles."

Yeah, in this case, it seemed to be recognized as a "pet feces", so I thought it was a perfect shit, but AI probably found that this poke was a fake.However, although it is "avoided", it is actually stepped.I tried it twice after this, but this fake shit was always stepped on.It is 3 strikes.

At a later date, I took a additional test with another fake poop close to a small animal poop, but I couldn't do anything here.The fact that it is judged not to be a poop with such a close look, I think that it is highly likely that pet feces will not be certified depending on the shape and size.

Because there is a note, consider that the current camera's AI recognition is "it is better to clear the floor as much as possible, but it is difficult to stop even if you forget to clear it."In this experiment, the code placed on the floor and the toys of the child were avoided, but it was not completely avoided, but it was a bit of contact or riding, so overconfidence is forbidden.Put your pet in the cage.

Also, as an aside, I saw me taking a picture while smiling in the living room and smiling, and I was shocked by my wife, "Is it finally crazy?""Finally" is "finally".

For telework?Room / area designated cleaning that can be used even in the time of people

The avoidance performance of AI, which I expected very much, was not good enough, but the mapping ability is excellent and convenient.

In the app, once you map the room, you can specify the room to be cleaned and specify the area.Clean only the dressing room after the bath, and only around the dining table after a meal.You can clean the pinpoint.

Cleaning the entire room when there were no people was a conventional robot vacuum cleaner, but recently, many families have people in the house during the day due to the increase in remote work.

In that case, is it more advantageous to have a robot vacuum cleaner that can be cleaned for each room or area?I felt that.

However, I am impatient, and if I notice the dirt, I want to be beautiful immediately, and I will take out a cordless vacuum cleaner, so it is not very beneficial.The cordless vacuum cleaner has recently become lighter, so cleaning is not too hard.

The robot vacuum cleaner will be smarter, the vacuum cleaner will be lighter, so cleaning has become really easier in recent years.Don't you think it's great?

It's excellent, but it's easy to understand and maintain

In the app, it is really multifunctional because it can be seen from the map, from a smartphone to remote control (can be moved from a robot perspective!), But there are some places that are not good.First of all, I was confused by the initial setting, but it was difficult to register Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi is 2.Only 4GHz band is supported.Well, that's good, but even if you follow the procedure as instructed, the robot does not easily connect to Wi-Fi.I was finally connected three times, but during this time I haven't changed the steps.Yes, it's the most troublesome guy ...The router is right in front of me, and it's really a mystery what was wrong with what was bad.

The UI/UX of these apps is overwhelmingly above Rumba.The connection is simple and easy, the operation system of the application is intuitive, and the setting items are also emphasized.Roborock apps are multifunctional, but it's quite funny, and if you don't bite a gadget on a regular basis, it takes time to understand each.

The approach of dust collection, suction and movement is a common robot vacuum cleaner.

While suppressing the trends of recent robot vacuum cleaners, we are challenging new things using technology, but the dust collection, suction, and emission structure as a vacuum cleaner is familiar.Rumba has a water wiping function that is not available, and it is an advantage that it is two roles, but this is also a standard for robots of recent Asian manufacturers.

If you look at the structure of this area, you can also give the impression that products are progressing with a little priority on software.It's a little wasteful to see "many other people" in the most important part because you have two cameras.As a cleaning nerd, if there is a revolutionary twist in the cleaning function, the degree of LOVE will increase.

Robot vacuum cleaner that grey people feel interesting

｢Roborock S6 MAXV｣最大のウリのAIによる認識・回避は完璧ではなく、やや残念な結果でしたが、現状がこうなだけで、AIによる認識機能は、サンプルが多く集まっていけば今後さらに進化して正確になっていく可能性もあります。

今後さまざまなロボット掃除機がおそらく同じようなAIによる物体認識・対処のアプローチを展開してくることが予想される中で、一足早く市販モデルを投入した｢Roborock S6 MAXV｣の挑戦は、個人的には嫌いではありません。

The necessary sensors are available, and the other day, the voice change function of the robot has been added.Perhaps, like the iPhone, the software update will increase new features steadily, making it a base model that can fight for years and years?There is a sense of expectation.

Yeah, when Apde begins to worry, it's for us (Geek neighborhood).It is certain that it is a vacuum cleaner for gadget clusters who like play elements, and geek people in the tech area.

Roughly summarized ...

・ Apps compatible, mapping compatible, flag ship robot vacuum cleaner for water wiping

・ Object recognition and avoidance by AI develops

・ Fake poop was seen through.But I stepped on

・ Cleaning ability is high.He took the garbage well
