Robot vacuum cleaners include 1) price of 1) price, 2) feeling that it will not be cleaned unless you clean it yourself, 3) There are "three introduction barriers" that you think is enough for conventional vacuum cleaners.

For this reason, Rumba E5 was launched for 49,880 yen in October 2018 as a product with excellent cost balance.It is well received by customers.Four months after its release, it is still very popular and has 30 % on model -based share.Another model was selling by the E5, and he said, "It is a product that has been a turning point in the family."

Rumba's household penetration rate is 4 as of October 2018.It was 5%, but now 4.It is growing rapidly to 9%.The iRobot aims to exceed the household penetration rate of 10%in 2023.He says he wants to create an era where users do not have to think about cleaning.

In the future, home appliances are required to achieve safe, secure, and comfortable things than humans.Washing, dishwashing, and floor cleaning are the same.The mission is "enriching people's lives with robot technology".He said, "This is the product that Colin Angle has dreamed of for a long time."

"Rumba is the most important rumba," said IROBOT Corporation founder and CEO Colin Angle.He emphasized that it was important for robots to know where they were, and said humorously that the out -of -place behavior would seem strange, even if it was an excellent performance.

パフォーマンス発揮には「居場所を知ること」が重要

If you don't understand the environment you are, robots will not be able to fully demonstrate their functions.In order for a home robot to be functioning, you need to understand where you are in the house.For example, if you understand where you are in the house, you can automatically turn off the home appliances if you leave the room, or you will automatically launch the vacuum cleaner when the floor gets dirty.You can do things.This "clean base" can collect 30 garbage, so those who have been cleaning the rumba dust container once a week will not have to touch Rumba for a year."It's just a smart home device. It's about changing your mindset about cleaning."

The mapping technology that supports it is "IMPRINT Smart Mapping".It is possible to automatically estimate which room is in which room has about 80 % of the accuracy.If the name is wrong, fix it by specifying the user.This function can specify the interval between cleaning, such as "the kitchen every day, the living room once every two days".

In addition, as you learn the floor plan, you will gradually move more efficiently, even if you are wasted movement at first.After cleaning one room, the movement of the next room is automatically realized.It is said that it is a robot vacuum cleaner that becomes smarter as learning.For example, a place where you can not move after hitting the last time, you will be able to avoid it next.If you always turn on the power at the same time, you will propose the cleaning timing from the robot.

効率的な掃除ルートを自動で選ぶようになる

"This robot is a platform," said Colin Angle."The processing capacity has increased by 30 times the 900 series. New Rumba becomes smarter every day. It can also download intelligence to robots and import more new functions. I also add functions that were not at the beginning of purchase.It can be done. I robots will continue to invest in places where robots can move more efficiently at home. "

声で呼びかけてルンバに部屋を掃除させることも可能に

For example, you can start cleaning simply by giving instructions with a voice saying "Rumba, clean the living room".It is said that grasping the surrounding environment is the key to smart home.If you can learn about the surrounding environment and learn where the kitchen and where the refrigerator is, a long -term robot will bring something to bring something.

By sharing information with other devices, you can make your house smarter.For example, if you say "turn on a TV" to a smart speaker, you can tell which TV to turn on, and you can get it off when you leave the room.The fact that there are always elderly people living in a remote area will also be able to notice and notify the children.

普段と違った行動なども把握できるように

"AI is very powerful, but there are many constraints, but if you know where you are, you will be able to do magic."

Rumba's map is encrypted and stored in the cloud.It is said that smart home makers are considering using alliance.Since the map was abandoned every time to respond to the environment of the changing house, the reason for switching to evolving and adapting the map can continue to remember the furniture arrangement in the room.He replied that he could do it.

Hiroshi Yamauchi, Product Manager of Irobot Japan Marketing Headquarters, IADAPT3.Explanation about 0.First, I introduced the difference in the version of IADAPT."IADAPT 1."0 is a function to clean the entire room and return to the charger even if there are obstacles.

"IADAPT 2" installed in the 900 series.In "0 Visual Localization", Rumba itself uses a camera to make a map and estimates its own position.These are Rumba's navigation technology so far.

The i7, which uses a higher -speed processor, can process 9880 MIPS calculations, which are magnitude different from the conventional model, learn the layout of the house, and the more you use it, the more optimal you can clean.

This is IADAPT3.In 0, the conventional Rumba forgot the map created to respond to changes in the house, but every time the model is used, the map will be elegant and will be able to clean it more efficiently.You can record up to 10 floors, so you can have a 1F map and 2F map separately.The decision is made by Rumba automatically.

You can also clean the room.Rumba, whose room is specified in the app, moves to the room through the optimal route and begins to clean it.When you return to the home base, you know which one is, so return to the home base through the optimal route.As you approach the clean base, gradually loses the speed and docks accurately.After docking, suction is performed.

アイロボットジャパン　マーケティング本部長 山田毅氏

Takeshi Yamada, Director of Irobot Japan Marketing Division, introduced again that Rumba i7 has already been highly evaluated overseas.He said in the lineup he wanted to overcome the three major barriers that would not buy robot vacuum cleaners.The price of other models is also reduced.The lowest 643 series was 29,880 yen.
