Production Technology
The lightweight, streamlined body with rounded contours softens its mechanical presence, making it a natural part of the pool. The subtly forward leaning shape generates extra downward thrust underwater, optimizing movement for maximum efficiency.
Crafted without any spray, it avoids chemical emissions, enhances corrosion resistance, and delivers a refined finish, bringing style, durability, and sustainable responsibility into perfect harmony.
Design Challenge
The Beatbot Sora 10 introduces a true innovation in surface debris removal. It integrates 11 sensors for precision navigation, paired with a front mounted ultrasonic sensor to accurately detect and locate floating debris. Driven by an exclusive AI mapping algorithm, it dynamically plans the most efficient cleaning path in real time. Powered by a robust 6,800 GPH suction system, it autonomously and efficiently clears surface debris, eliminating the need for manual skimming or remote control.
Research
Traditional pool cleaning robots often struggle with floating debris, cumbersome retrieval, and rigid cleaning paths. The Beatbot Sora 10 overcomes these limitations through sensor fusion navigation and AI driven path planning, enabling intelligent 3D mapping and path optimization. Combined with powerful suction, it actively and efficiently collects surface debris. Auto waterline parking further eliminates the hassle of manual retrieval, enhancing both cleaning efficiency and user interaction.
Inspiration
Meticulously engineered for intelligence, reliability, and user friendliness, this product embraces a simple, efficient design to deliver seamless and dependable performance in any setting. Its streamlined form provides a sleek, modern look while boosting underwater agility and cleaning efficiency. Beyond that, it perfectly combines smart technology with rugged hardware, unlocking a superior experience where peak performance effortlessly meets intuitive use.
Project Duration
The project commenced in Suzhou in September 2025, with completion set for March 2026.
Operation Flow
The Beatbot Sora 10 autonomously returns to the pool waterline after completing its cleaning cycle and docks securely for easy retrieval.
Its companion app offers Auto, Floor Only, and Eco cleaning modes, along with cleaning progress tracking, water temperature monitoring, and intelligent maintenance alerts. For instant access without the app, the Beatbot Sora 10 features a programmable physical toggle switch, enabling users to assign their preferred mode and activate it with a single press.
