Ideal for a beautiful Japanese house ..........................

The "BRAAVA 380J" automatic robot vacuum cleaner for the "floor wiping" for Irobot will be deployed in Japan from July 4th. Sales on demand, a Japanese agency, held a new product presentation. Sales are handled at the online channel's eyelobot store, and the price is 35,640 yen. At the reporter presentation, Mr. Hajime Murosaki ( *), President and CEO ( *) from the sales on demand, talked about the background of the product in the Japanese market. Buraba is a floor wiping robot called the "Mint" series of Ethe Robotics in the United States. BRAAVA is a product that has been born with its own improvements to Mint since Irobot acquired the company in 2010. In the United States, the Japanese model of the "BRAAVA 380T", which has been sold last August, is the BRAAVA 380J. The main point of localized was the battery specification change, and the body color became white from the black of the overseas model. Murosaki says about the background of the launch of the Japanese market in the unit. "In Europe and the United States, there are many homes on hard floors such as flooring and tiles, but in Japan it is increasing in Japan. There are also surveys that 70 % of new constructions are flooring. In addition, Japanese people like Japanese people more beautifully. I thought that the need to keep the floor more nicely because I walked on the floor with bare feet instead of shoes. In another survey, more than 60 % of Japanese families wiped water once a week. I answered. Even if I look at the results of the awareness survey, it is troublesome before wiping water, but there are many voices saying that I can get satisfaction after doing it. However, we thought that we could contribute to enrich the lives of people. It will be useful for families with asthma asthma. " The emphasis is emphasized as the simplicity that can be realized by just pressing one button. For future developments, "IROBOT Rumba has pioneered a new product category called cleaning robot. The product category of automatically wiping water on behalf of people is also unknown. Braava's life is" spending time bare feet. It will be "every day". It will surely be a product that will be supported by Japan. " The outline of the product explained by Akihiro Ikeda, the company. First, Mr. Ikeda emphasized that "Buraba is a product that has a completely different concept from Rumba because it is a robot vacuum cleaner dedicated to the floor." In fact, Bravaba does not have the function of "sucking" dust or dust on the floor, and wipes it by wiping it by wiping it by wiping the sebum of the floor or the spills on the floor by wiping it. It is a robot specializing in. The flooring available is flooring, tiles, and cushion floors, and does not support tatami or carpet rooms. The mechanism of the brava is that a cloth called a detachable cleaning pad is attached to the back of the main unit, and then wipes the floor with two tires. The cleaning method can be selected from the "wet mode" of the water wiping and the "dry mode" of the wiping, and the special microfiber cloth attached to the main unit is installed according to the application. Just press the button on the top of the main body to select the mode. When wiping, clean the floor while moving back and forth as if the body moped. Put water in the tank and attach a wet cleaning pad with velcro. There is a hole in the center of the pad that moisture soaks, and as long as the tank has water, the cloth can be wiped while always wetting the cloth. The maximum operating area in wet mode is about 20 tatami mats. When wiping, attach a dry cleaning pad for dry. In the dry mode, the body moves straight and wipes while covering the wide floor area. The maximum operating area is about 56 tatami mats. The guideline for cleaning time when wiping is about 1 minute in a room where there is no furniture of about 8 tatami mats. The cleaning pad has a different specification from the wet one, and it is only attached to the cut of the back rubber of the attached part to be attached, so that a commercially available disposable "cleaning sheet" can be used. In addition, both pads can be washed and reused after use. Exchange pads will be sold as options, and the price is expected to be around 3 -disc/1800 yen. "Northstar (North Star) Navigation System", which is a unique function of Brava, is for wiping cleaning with Bravaba more accurately. After placing the "NORTHSTAR Cube" attached to the main unit in any location in the room, the cube irradiates the ceiling with an infrared light, and the accurate location information is grasped while sensing the point of the infrared rays with the sensor of the brava body. While remembering the shape of the room and the arrangement of furniture, the entire floor of the room can be cleaned so that it does not leak. The size of the room that can be covered with one cube is about 56 tatami mats. It may not work well in the entrance hall with high ceilings. The cube will be sold separately as an option, pairing two cubes for one brava, and can be cleaned on this unit while mapping a space of up to 112 tatami mats. The Bravaba itself does not get over the rug mat because the height exceeding the height exceeds about 3 mm. The front is equipped with a rubber bumper, so you can run without scratching when hitting furniture or walls. In addition, there is also a fall prevention sensor, so you can use it without worrying in places with steps, such as the entrance. The body size is 244W x 79H x 216Dmm. Wipe and clean while entering under the bed. There is also a carrying handle on the body, and the mass is about 1..It is 8kg lightweight, so you can easily carry it.The body has a built -in rechargeable battery of about 2,000mAh.Full charge in about 4 hours.Charging is completed in about 2 hours when using a quick charging stand.Not supported for automatic charging.About 2 in wet mode.The 5 hours and the dry mode have a continuous drive time of about 4 hours.The electricity used is 0 in about 1 hour.Eco -design for 5 yen. Regarding Brava's design, Mr. Ikeda says, "The square, which is slightly larger than the B5 version, is the best shape for wiping the floor. It shows the merit that can be cleaned along the corners and corners. At a press conference, the question was asked how Bravar bars judged wiping cleaning as "completed." Mr. Ikeda said, "IROBOT's rumba has a home base function for automatic charging, but Bravaba has no automatic charging function itself, so it is programmed to return to the place where it started to clean. There is no sensor to judge how much pads have adsorbed the yogore, so if you can judge that you can go around the room to some extent and clean it, return to the start point. " The sales method is initially handled at the iLobot store, but Mr. Murosaki will "expand in discussions with partners, such as expanding at mass retailers in the future while watching the user's response." showed that. * The character of "Saki" is exactly the top side of the side.
