At 20:00 on October 26, Beijing time, service robot leader Ecovacs held a 2022 autumn strategic new product launch conference, which was launched simultaneously around the world, and for the first time, a brand new Ecovacs was presented to the world through Chinese and English bilingualism. This press conference created an immersive experience of scene shuttle through high technology - Ecovacs Robot CEO Qian Cheng released the intelligent mowing robot GOAT G1 in the courtyard in Europe, and displayed the new commercial cleaning solutions DEEBOT PRO K1 and M1 in the Suzhou Museum, introducing the future of robots. Audiences around the world can feel the disruptive experience brought by the Ecovacs robots in an immersive way.
Ecovacs Robot CEO Qian Cheng
At last year's press conference,Ecovacs announced the arrival of the era of home service robot 3.0 through DEEBOT X1 OMNI. This year, Ecovacs has taken a step further and achieved a full-scenario breakthrough in robots in life, production and ecology. The application scenarios of these two new products have left the home interior, the outdoor courtyard, and even entered the commercial field, showing the courage of Ecovacs to guide the industry direction. The core technological innovations of the two new products, whether it is the robot vision solution pioneered by Ecovacs, or the robot multi-machine collaboration system HIVE, developed by Ecovacs, all reflect Ecovacs' grasp of the future direction of the robot industry. Ecovacs' further expansion of its service robot business is a powerful interpretation of its new mission - "Let robots serve everyone" and a big step forward for it to move towards the world's top robot companies.
intelligent mowing robot GOAT G1: Open the era of mowing robot 2.0 with robot vision
The first intelligent mowing robot GOAT G1 launched by Ecovacs this time, taking "robot vision" as a breakthrough point, bringing consumers a more convenient, efficient, beautiful and safe intelligent mowing experience, and opening the era of smart mowing robot 2.0. Currently, the robotization rate of mowing tools in the world is only 10%, and the main reason is that the product is not smart enough and the user experience is poor. The technical bottlenecks behind these problems are "boundary perception", "precise positioning" and "navigation obstacle avoidance". The basic capabilities of these robots are also the technological leadership of Ecovacs. As of 2021, under the leadership and promotion of Ecovacs innovation, the global sweeping robot market has expanded to US$6.1 billion.
Ecovacs' first mowing robot GOAT G1
Ecovacs wants to lead the category transformation of mowing robots, and must first define the core issues. Taking the European market as an example, users have three major pain points in the use of existing products - they need to manually bury the boundary line, and can only be cut randomly or semi-planned, and often get stuck and crash, hurting people and objects. GOAT G1 solves these problems with robot vision. Ecovacs pioneered the TrueMapping four-fold fusion positioning system. Its core technological innovation is a robot binocular vision solution composed of 360-degree panoramic camera and fisheye camera. It can achieve "centimeter-level" precise positioning in courtyard space with unclear physical boundaries and undulating ground. The system also integrates UWB ultra-bandwidth wireless carrier communication technology, inertial navigation technology and GPS positioning technology , making GOAT positioning performance more stable.
GOAT G1's robot vision technology solves the cumbersome boundary line deployment problems, and can also realize logical cutting and navigation obstacle avoidance. When using it for the first time, users only need to remotely control the G1 to walk around the courtyard for a circle, and in less than half an hour, the boundary setting and map creation of a standard courtyard can be completed. This also greatly improves the cutting efficiency and effect, allowing GOAT G1 to complete 600 square meters of lawn cutting in one day, making the courtyard more regular and beautiful. With the support of the AIVI 3D solution composed of vision sensor and ToF sensor, GOAT G1 can independently identify common obstacles in the courtyard, so as not to hurt people and objects, and have a higher safety factor. In addition, the GOAT G1 is also a garden security housekeeper robot. These abilities of
GOAT coincide with the characteristics of "precision, strength and cleverness" of Ecovacs mowing robot product spokesperson - Sanjie German Footballer and former German national team captain Mr. Barack.I believe that after the GOAT G1 is launched in China and Europe in March next year, more consumers will experience the same subversive experience as Barack, the first product experience officer of GOAT G1. The release of GOAT G1 marks the entry of the mowing robot industry into the 2.0 era of intelligence, and further demonstrates the strength of Ecovacs to continuously make scene breakthroughs with its core technologies.

Commercial cleaning robot solution DEEBOT PRO K1, M1: Redefining the future of commercial robots with combined innovation
At this press conference, Ecovacs not only broke through the technical barriers of indoor and outdoor scenes, but also brought new ideas for the commercial cleaning field. By the end of 2021, the market for commercial cleaning equipment in China reached 48.5 billion yuan, but the robotization rate was only 0.56%. The reason is that the commercial scenarios such as shopping malls, office buildings, hotels, catering and retail spaces are large in size and complex in structure, which require higher capabilities of robots; but existing products are either inadequate or have too high cost of use. Therefore, Ecovacs' thinking is not only focused on the product itself, but also on the idea of promoting the robotization of the Shangqing industry.
Ecovacs' new professional solution for commercial scenarios DEEBOT PRO
Ecovacs launched today with the nickname "Professional version Dibao ". It is an unprecedented commercial cleaning combination solution. Its core breakthroughs include three aspects: multi-product combination, multi-robot efficient collaborative system and business model innovation. It aims to create a practical, easy-to-use and affordable intelligent commercial cleaning experience for customers, so that robots can serve everyone.
DEEBOT PRO includes two robots, K1 and M1, one small and one large, which can meet the complex ground cleaning needs in small, medium and large commercial environments through various combinations. DEEBOT PRO is also equipped with the first robot multi-machine collaboration system HIVE (Homogeneous Intelligence Variable Execution), which allows multiple robots to have the "strongest brain" to share, realize autonomous sharing of infrastructure, interoperability of environment and location information, as well as independent scheduling and collaborative cleaning operations. DEEBOT PRO adopts a full-lease business model for the first time to reduce the cost of users. The first Ecovacs robot rental platform was also officially launched today. In the first quarter of next year, DEEBOT PRO will officially enter various commercial spaces.

It is worth mentioning that DEEBOT PRO also reflects Ecovacs' prediction and layout of the future ecosystem of robots. Ecovacs believes that the future of robots lies in collaboration, so the full stack has developed its own HIVE system. The high-precision lidar , which is the basis for the application of HIVE system in DEEBOT PRO. K1 and M1 are equipped with Krypton high-precision lidar of the same model, same height and same perspective. After any robot completes the environment map construction, all map and location information will first be automatically synchronized to the HIVE system and then distributed to all collaborative robots. I believe that the future application of the robot collaboration ecosystem pioneered by Ecovacs is far more than this, and its potential is limitless.
Life, production, and ecology, Ecovacs full-scene innovation leads the robot industry in the future
25 years, Ecovacs has always been demand-oriented and has continuously defined the service robot industry. The intelligent mowing robot GOAT G1 and commercial cleaning robot solution DEEBOT PRO released this time reflect the original intention of Ecovacs robots to always start from the pain points of users and solve problems through technological innovation. Ecovacs' layout extends from life scenarios to production scenarios, and the broader robot ecosystem, relying on the brand's repeated breakthroughs in core components such as chips, motors, sensors, and continuous innovation in underlying capabilities such as positioning, navigation, obstacle avoidance, cleaning, AI, and algorithms.
