AI-Driven Vacuum Robots

ECOVACS' DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI Recognizes Common Household Objects

— March 24, 2020 — Tech
ECOVACS developed the DEEBOT OZMO T8 AIVI as a net-gen robotic vacuum powered by artificial intelligence. The AI-driven floor cleaning robot is useful for not just efficient vacuuming at home but also mopping and even home monitoring. The robotic vacuum offers simultaneous vacuuming and mopping with advanced laser-based home mapping, object identification and avoidance and remote monitoring, helping to add immense value to a home's arsenal.

Thanks to a high-performance AI chipset and camera module, the AI-powered vacuum is able to use AIVI (Artificial Intelligence and Visual Interpretation) technology to map and navigate its surroundings with ease—and the device is even capable of detecting and avoiding common household objects like socks, shoes, cables and chairs to prevent itself from getting stuck. In the case that an area needs to be avoided, the bot offers Missed Area Notifications to alert users that obstacles need to be removed.
