On February 2nd, iRobot Japan announced the robot vacuum cleaner "Rumba j7+" that accurately avoids and cleans socks, power cords, pet excrement, etc. scattered on the floor. The price starts from 99,800 yen (tax included). It will be released on the 10th. [Other images] Types of obstacles that Roomba recognizes Using the front camera and AI machine learning, even the types of obstacles are recognized. Avoid the spot and continue cleaning, and after finishing, ask the user through the smartphone app whether to set it as a "no entry area". The objects it recognizes are power cords for home appliances, cables such as earphones, footwear such as socks and slippers, pet excrement (solid), and charging stations for Roomba. Recognition results are accumulated in the cloud and shared by Roomba j7+ around the world with a software update once every three months. iRobot Japan says, "The accuracy of image recognition depends on the number of data sets. iRobot is worth doing because its products are used all over the world and it knows floors and obstacles all over the world." The Roomba j7+ will be sold with a "pet owner peace of mind guarantee". In the unlikely event that pet excrement is inhaled, it will be replaced with a new one free of charge. Colin Angle, CEO of iRobot in the US proudly said, "The j7+ is a reliable partner. It will set a new standard for home robots."
