Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Every robotic vacuum shares a thing in common. They can quickly vacuum the dust away but not remove the stain off the floor. Thus, Legee 7, with multiple patents, redefines what vacuum mop robot is by integrating 4 traditional cleaning actions, vacuum, dry mopping, spray water, and wet mopping into a single mechanism. Also, it performs Talent Clean by offering 8 cleaning modes to help the user handle the most common cleaning tasks according to their needs.
- Inspiration
- Given that the general robotic vacuums cannot clean the floor thoroughly, Mr. George drew the idea of biotechnology to develop a brand new vacuum mop robot that imitates human hand gestures of sweeping and mopping to achieve exceptional cleaning results. To further reduce such household chores, he also set up 8 cleaning modes for users to deal with the most common cleaning tasks, that's well-received exclusive patent, Talent Clean.
- Research
- As the robot helps people do chores becomes more popular, it's time to think about what the floor cleaning should be and how to enhance the cleaning result. To redefine what is the floor cleaning robot, Hobot R&D team committed to developing the robot that combines vacuum, dry mope, water spray, wet mope into one take. Moreover, in the process of development and design, the advanced LDS sensor was added to collect the high accuracy terrain information for the optimized cleaning path planning.
- Challenge
- The most challenge was to pick up the invisible particles and scrape the stain on the floor by imitating biotechnology while collecting accurate terrain information to optimize the cleaning process.
- Realization and Technology
- injection molding, tooling, in-mold decoration, software engineering, app coding, speech coding, multi-filed integration from electronics, telecommunications and mechanisms
- Operation and Interaction
- Firstly, please install all accessories to Legee 7, fill the water tank with pure water or Legee detergent, and ensure the power switch is on with a fully charged battery. Second, please connect Legee 7 with Legee 7 App via Wifi to start it to complete the appointed task with LDS navigation. Moreover, Legee 7, accompanied by voice control, can be easily controlled via Siri or Ok Google, and play recorded voice as a prompt while working by utilizing the newest feature, Creative Voice.
- Project Duration and Location
- This project started in 2019 in Taiwan and will launch in the second half of 2020.
