Industry-leading technology: Obstacle avoidance technology AI “AIVI” Voice assistant function “YIKO”
This time, the DEEBOT X1 Family and DEEBOT T10 Family, the two series that have driven the No. 1 growth rate in the industry, are AI VI, an obstacle avoidance technology developed by bringing together our technological strengths. Equipped with two industry-leading
technologies for the assistant function “YIKO”.
Obstacle avoidance technology AI “AIVI Cleaning Assist”
By combining a high-performance AI chipset and a 148.3° wide-angle lens camera, artificial intelligence can identify and avoid 18 types of obstacles such as “power cords” and “socks” that hinder cleaning at ultra-high speed. In addition, the AI learns and memorizes the layout of rooms and the arrangement of furniture, making it possible to intelligently avoid collisions with furniture.
It is now possible to clean the entire room without tangling with wiring cords or interrupting cleaning while dragging socks, which can happen with general robot vacuum cleaners.
In addition, it is possible to correctly recognize small garbage on the floor. Along with this, by reducing the running speed and rotating speed of the side brush and increasing the suction power, it is possible to minimize dust and dirt and enable pinpoint cleaning. “AIVI Cleaning Assist” image movie

Voice assistant function “YIKO”
The unique voice assistant function “YIKO” allows you to start cleaning just by speaking without connecting to a smart speaker. You can easily start cleaning at any time by saying “OK YIKO, start cleaning” even when your hands are full, without having to launch the app.
Furthermore, by setting a 3D map that visually grasps the position of the sofa and bed in the app, it is possible to specify the cleaning location in detail, such as “under the sofa” or “kitchen” and give cleaning instructions by voice. For example, if you don’t have a smartphone at hand, or if you can’t take your hands off your hands while raising children, the latest technology supports you in your busy schedule.
