" Cobos opened the 3.0 era of home service robots."
On September 15th, at a new Cobos product launch with the theme of "Multidimensional Evolution", Cobos CEO Qian Cheng said so Said, his words are full of confidence.
After all, at this conference, the milestone of Cobos Robots-the new product of the sweeping and dragging robot Dibao X1 family was officially unveiled. It brings the most relaxing and comprehensive cleaning experience for Cobos so far. . Not only that, but under the full efforts of the industry leader Cobos, the Dibao X1 can be regarded as the highest-level all-round new flagship in the sweeping robot industry.
In fact, the advent of the Dibao X1 family is the inevitable result of the multi-dimensional evolution of the Cobos robot in the technological development process.
A more powerful intelligent innovation in evolution: the "super brain" of the Cobos robot
For a useful household service robot , functionality, intelligence and interactivity are indispensable ——Among them, intelligence is the core of the three, and it is also the core focus of Cobos Robotics in the continuous evolution of the past many years.
Specifically on the product line of sweeping robots, from the original Dibao product to the current Dibao X1 family, the most important thing is the exploration and algorithm of Cobos on the navigation system and the intelligent sensor Upgrade-that is, the construction of the "super brain".
For Cobos, this is a gradual evolutionary process, and it is also a process in which it gradually moves toward a leading position in the industry.
In the first time, when the sweeping robot began to enter the Chinese family, it was like a child without "eyes" and "brains", learning how to "walk" by random collisions during the sweeping process, but there was no rules. The actual effect is not good. Based on this background, the navigation system of the sweeping robot has become the key technology to solve the problem, and it has become the core evolution point.
and in the past ten years,Navigation technology is constantly evolving. It started with random inertial navigation, but after continuous exploration and research and development, Cobos determined that laser navigation is a good direction, so in September 2013, it officially launched a sweeping robot with LDS laser positioning system and global planning functions. Bao 9 Series-Later, laser navigation became the mainstream of the market for a time.
However, with the development of artificial intelligence and the significant increase in users' demand for intelligence, visual navigation based on computer vision technology has emerged strongly.
And Cobos also keenly captured this trend. While continuing to develop laser navigation technology, it was also the first to invest in the VSLAM visual navigation system, and became the only industry in the industry to have both LDS SLAM laser navigation and VSLAM visual navigation technology. A fully commercialized brand. In 2020, Cobos once again creatively introduced the lidar technology supported by the dToF sensor, which significantly improved the mapping accuracy and scanning range of the sweeping robot, and once again led the trend of sweeping robot navigation technology.
It is worth mentioning that with the continuous evolution of navigation technology, Cobos has also made many explorations in robot intelligent obstacle avoidance technology.
For example, in 2018, Cobos applied AIVI artificial intelligence and visual recognition technology to sweeping robots for the first time. The combination of high-definition cameras and AI algorithms ensured the robot's ability to recognize objects. Not only that, in subsequent products, Cobos chose to use 3D structured light technology in the Debao T8. Thanks to the real-time detection of structured light and 3D imaging algorithms, the robot can perceive more than 100 obstacles, which greatly improves The sensitivity of the sweeping robot can easily avoid obstacles in the home and prevent collision and entanglement problems.
In this way, through continuous exploration and experimentation of multiple sensors, Cobos has released the improvement space of its robot's perception ability in multiple dimensions, and has also made sufficient preparations for the fusion of multiple sensors.
Of course, the launch of the new products of the Dibao X1 family can be said to be the ultimate embodiment of the continuous evolution of Cobos home service robots in terms of intelligence.
Leifeng.com learned that Dibao X1 uses the most complex RGBD sensor developed by Cobos so far.Integrating Cobos’ representative leading technology AIVI with 3D structured light technology perfectly, this new technology called AIVI 3D can not only identify the precise location of the household type, room type and various furniture, but also in the form of 3D Presented on the mobile APP. With the blessing of AIVI 3D technology, Cobos brings the map experience of home service robots into the three-dimensional era.
Cobos revealed that the map creation speed of the Dibao X1 has been increased by 10 times, the recognition width has been increased by 1 time, the cleaning time has been reduced by 25%, and the robot navigation capability will span from full house coverage to precise guidance. It can complete the cleaning of local areas and specific locations, and the cleaning experience is more convenient and efficient.
In addition, the Debao X1 family is also equipped with an autonomous driving-level Horizon Rising Sun X3 high computing power AI chip, which can greatly improve the type and speed of sensing objects, and can sense three-dimensional information of objects, and segment the home environment. Functions such as route planning, precise positioning, and intelligent obstacle avoidance have brought technological innovations, making cleaning work unimpeded.
It can be said that the "super brain" has endowed the Cobos robot with higher-dimensional intelligence, and further enhanced the Cobos robot's perception ability. From seeing clearly to seeing, to truly "understanding", let Cobos The robot's perception of intelligence has gradually changed from the past, to now it has finally achieved a qualitative change.
A more harmonious home life in evolution: a true home intelligent assistant
Of course, for a real home service robot , intelligence is by no means all.
After all, based on the specific attributes of homes and services, if robots want to truly integrate into people’s smart home scenes, they must become more convenient, more comfortable, more natural, and even to some extent necessary to interact with people. More "temperature"-this is why the home service robot emphasizes "interactivity" so much.
More efficient, precise, and harmonious interaction is another highlight of the Cobos Debao X1 family.
However, looking at the entire industry, the current exploration in the field of robotic smart home is still in its infancy.Most of the sweeping robots are still in the state of remote command, and the experience is poor. Not only that, from the perspective of the current technological evolution of sweeping robots, it is currently more limited to visual recognition , and there are still deficiencies in the development and exploration of speech recognition capabilities, resulting in poor interactivity.
The release of the Dibao X1 family makes people see: the evolution of Cobos at the interactive level has realized the evolution from pseudo-intelligence to real use. It is no longer a cold machine, but a service for human home life. Smart housekeeper.
If you look back, the evolution of the Cobos robot at the interactive level can be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds.
For example, in the original sweeping robot, Cobos was controlled by a remote control, and the interaction method was single; however, with the development of smart phones and the emergence of laser navigation systems, mobile phone App maps have become a way for people to interact with the sweeping robot. Although the important method is much more convenient, it still cannot free your hands and has many limitations.
Therefore, when the development of sweeping robots has entered the era of object environment cognition, language, as the most natural way of interaction between humans, has also become the first choice for Cobos robots.
Leifeng.com learned that Cobos' latest release of the Dibao X1 family of sweeping and dragging robots, the biggest innovation in interaction is: it can support natural language input, wake up by OK, YIKO, and then use a powerful voice knowledge base And voice recognition technology converts spoken language into text, which is converted into operation instructions after understanding the user's intention, and gives user feedback with voice.
This is currently the industry’s first sweeping and dragging robot that truly supports natural language interaction, making the user’s experience more comfortable and completely freeing the user’s hands; at the same time, it also gives the Cobos robot new interactive methods and possibility. It is different from the existing sweeping and dragging robots that use smart speakers to achieve voice control:
First, YIKO does not require peripherals such as smart speakers. Users can directly talk to the robot in natural language, whether it is for function settings or cleaning actions. It can be realized by dialogue;
Secondly, compared with the ambiguity and uncertainty of traditional interactive methods, combined with 3D maps,YIKO can do precise control and dispatch work, for example, let the robot clean the sofa in the living room, the bed in the bedroom and other more precise positions; For sound source localization, the user can ask Baolai to clean up in one sentence.
In addition to voice, the Dibao X1 family still supports mobile App map operations, but adds 3D map options in the presentation mode, which can provide users with higher-precision map information and make user operations more convenient.
It can be seen that whether it is the YIKO voice assistant or the comprehensive upgrade of the map experience, the Dibao X1 family truly embodies the revolutionary innovation of the Cobos home service robot at the interactive level, and this innovation is actually It represents the interactive development direction of the entire home service robot industry.
In addition, it is worth emphasizing that in order to create the easiest cleaning experience for users, Cobos has also created the first OMNI STATION all-round base station in the Debao X1 family. It can not only support the automatic backwashing of the mop, but also automatically wash the mop after cleaning and heat-assisted rapid air drying. It also allows users to select silver ion for sterilization and deodorization; in addition, it also supports automatic dust collection, eliminating the need for users The trouble of frequent dusting.
It can be said that with the blessing of the OMNI Station all-round base station, the Dibao X1 series has achieved the goal of freeing users' hands to the greatest extent, bringing users the joy of clean life in a true sense, and also supporting it in another dimension. The way the robot interacts with the user is relaxed and worry-free.
Of course, in the view of Leifeng.com, if the Dibao X1 family satisfies the functional shaping of the most relaxing cleaning experience so far, then the evolution of "intelligence" has given it a "super "Brain" and the evolution of "interactivity" at the same time is to inject a "soul" into it-such multiple evolutions make Dibao X1 no longer as simple as a sweeping and dragging robot.
A brand that continues to lead the industry in evolution: Why Cobos?
On the evolution of home service robots,The Dibao X1 family produced by Cobos is a product of iconic significance-it is brilliant in terms of intelligence and interactivity, and it can be said to be leading the development of the industry.
So, why is Cobos?
In fact, it is not difficult to understand, as a leader in the field of sweeping robots, Cobos is a typical technology company.

And invest in research and development, and continue to evolve and advance in technology.
Only in this way can we realize the intelligence and interaction capabilities of the Dibao X1 family.
But in addition to technology, the reason why Cobos can continue to lead the industry is actually due to its perception, attention and insight into the actual user experience and needs. After all, home service robots are to serve specific and sensible home users. Only by considering users in terms of experience can they truly get close to and integrate into human daily life.
This kind of thinking for the sake of users everywhere is also a necessary factor for the Cobos Dibao X1 family to lead the industry.
In the view of Leifeng.com, as the leader of China's sweeping robot industry, the latest Dibao product launched by Cobos has become an intelligent housekeeper serving human home life after multi-dimensional evolution, representing people's pursuit of a smart life. .
At the same time, it also represents the direction of future home service robot evolution.
Of course, from a more fundamental perspective, whether it is the multi-dimensional evolution of Cobos robots or the self-evolution of the Cobos brand in the process of leading the industry, the driving force behind it is actually practiced by it. The brand mission of "Let robots serve global families".
