I’d never have guessed that consumer and industrial drone manufacturer DJI would ever consider bringing a robot vac to the dining table, but I was wrong. And when you think about, why shouldn’t they? After all, the company’s amazing squadron of drones are capable of following users through difficult terrain, even through woodland with tree branches everywhere, with breath-taking accuracy and speed.
Given that navigation and obstacle avoidance are prerequisites of any successful robot vac, it makes perfect sense to use established drone navigation tech in a robot vac, or even a robot lawn mower. And since DJI would presumably never dream of sharing its navigation technology with anyone else, they may as well make their own robot vac. And that it did.
