China Economic Weekly-Economic Net News (Reporter Sun Bing) On August 31st, Xiaomi held the autumn communication meeting of Xiaomi Ecological Chain 2016 in Beijing, and officially released the Mijia sweeping robot with world-class products such as iRobot Roomba 980 and Neato Botvac D8500.
Sweeping robot is the most complicated product of Mijia at present, involving more than 1200 parts and 113 sets of molds.
"Mijia sweeping robot is one of the most complicated products in the history of Xiaomi ecological chain. It has 1279 parts and 113 sets of molds." Liu De, co-founder and vice president of Xiaomi Company and head of Xiaomi ecological chain, said. In fact, there are about 1,200 and 1,300 devices in smart phones, which shows that the complexity of sweeping robots far exceeds that of ordinary "household appliances".

The Mijia sweeping robot with a price of 1,699 yuan is a competing product with a price of more than 5,000 yuan, and its performance exceeds the top international products.
Liu De called this sweeping robot "a truly intelligent sweeping robot", because it can build a room map in real time through real-time positioning and map construction algorithms similar to those used in driverless car technology, and make the most reasonable cleaning path planning. "The use performance and intelligent path planning ability of Mijia sweeping robot completely surpass the existing top international products, and the price of 1,699 yuan is only 1/3 of the international brands iRobot Roomba 980 and Neato Botvac D8500." He said.

According to the reporter’s understanding, at present, the sweeping robots on the market can be divided into collision type and path planning type according to their working principles. Now most of the sweeping robots of international and domestic brands are collision type. Collision-type sweeping robots clean by colliding with obstacles to change the direction of movement and exhaustively. This kind of robots have no travel path planning at all, and they don’t know where they have swept and where they haven’t. Until the power is exhausted, there are still a lot of places that need to be cleaned. Some users have spent a lot of money to buy the so-called products with navigation path planning, but because almost no product has a reasonable path planning algorithm, its cleaning method and effect are basically the same as those of collision.
Sweep clean and sweep fast — — Sweeping robot with strong suction and long battery life
At present, among the sweeping robots on the market, only high-end products have path planning function, and the price of imported brands is more than 6000 yuan, and the path algorithm is not reasonable enough, and the cleaning effect is not ideal; Most domestic product algorithms are more immature, but the price is about 3000 yuan. Xiaomi’s "top-matching" sweeping robot is priced at only 1699 yuan, which is very lethal.
"Mijia sweeping robot is a high IQ sweeping robot with true path planning, which has made a revolutionary breakthrough in path planning algorithm." Liu De said.
The team behind Mijia sweeping robot is Xiaomi Ecological Chain Company — — Roborock, whose founder is Chang Jing, former head of Baidu map products and CEO of Baidu Magic Map Wizard. Among the team he led were executives from Huawei, Intel and iRobot. Among them, Zhang Zhichun, the co-founder in charge of hardware, is one of the founders of Huawei’s mobile phone team. Wu Zhen, the co-founder in charge of software, has 10 years of software research and development experience in Intel and Microsoft, and is an expert in embedded and artificial intelligence technology.

"Baidu map is doing urban path planning, and I am doing indoor path planning in the sweeping robot." Chang Jing said. It turns out that Baidu map and sweeping robot are "related products".
According to Chang Jing, Mijia sweeping robot is equipped with a self-developed LDS laser ranging sensor, which can scan 360 degrees and 1800 times per second. It can build a room map in real time through SLAM (instant positioning and map building) algorithm similar to that used in driverless technology, and then fuse the data of 12 different sensors such as gyroscope, accelerometer, odometer and ultrasonic sensor to plan the sweeping path reasonably, which can clean the whole house quickly and reasonably, and solve the collision and collision problems.
In addition, Mijia sweeping robot adopts 1800Pa large wind pressure motor and 5200mAh 14.4V ultra-large capacity lithium battery, which can achieve 2.5 hours long battery life, and can clean the effective area of 250 square meters at a time when fully charged. This product will be first sold in Xiaomi. com and Xiaomi Home on September 6th.
