Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The T70 tackles all cleaning woes with these innovations: Edge-Sensing System with 8mm ultra-low space access, 30mm side reach, edge-to-edge wet mopping for blind-spot removal. The lifting height of the Smart Capture Robotic Arm 3.0 has been increased to 17mm to accommodate larger particles, wipes edges clean and leaves no streaks. 5.5L docking system auto-refills water, and a single refill meets weekly needs. 68dB(A) quiet operation and auto-drying, cleans silently without disturbance.
- Inspiration
- The T70 blends consumer electronics design with CMF craftsmanship, boasting an ultra-slim 98.5mm frame and IML electroplating in-mold injection tech. It cuts the utilitarian feel for refined, premium aesthetics. The outward-swinging cloth disc has a new transparent double-layer casing, with a translucent outer injection-molded layer and an electroplated inner layer. The decorative cover rotates with the gearbox, balancing mechanical aesthetics, functional visibility and structural protection.
- Research
- The T70 addresses key issues of home floor cleaners in edge cleaning, low-clearance areas and wet-dry debris scenarios. It breaks the physical constraints of traditional models through a dynamically expandable cleaning structure and an AI-powered robotic arm system. This design drives breakthrough improvements in cleaning coverage and debris removal efficiency, and creates a closed-loop user experience with long-term maintenance-free operation.
- Challenge
- Innovation: The T70 uniquely adopts the Edge-Sensing System and Smart Capture Robotic Arm 3.0. It delivers edge-to-edge cleaning and 17mm large debris pickup, balances 27kPa powerful suction with 68dB(A) low noise, and combines smart water refilling and ZnO antibacterial & deodorizing functions for a hassle-free experience. Challenge: It solves industry pain points in edge and low-clearance blind spot cleaning, and overcomes the technical dilemma of balancing powerful suction with quiet running.
- Realization and Technology
- The T70 uses PET materials and IML in-mold decoration for its frame, achieving a sleek and refined finish. An innovative detachable front panel allows material swaps for varied styles and eco-friendly recycling. The advanced motor and noise-reduction tech deliver 27000Pa strong suction and 68dB(A) low noise. The TOF sensor triggers the outward-swinging cloth disc, combining mechanical functions with sleek aesthetics.
- Operation and Interaction
- The T70 balances easy handling with low-frequency routine maintenance. After startup, the AI boost system adapts to floor surfaces automatically, reducing pushing resistance. The outward-swinging and Smart Capture functions activate automatically on edges, corners or large debris, no manual operation required. The docking system auto-cleans the roller brush, charges, refills water and sterilizes once the T70 is placed back after cleaning, enabling fully managed cleaning throughout the process.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project will finish in April 2026 in Suzhou.
