Overview

  • Romo models use dual fisheye cameras and three wide-angle lidar units to detect and avoid obstacles as thin as 2 mm.
  • Each vacuum integrates a 164 ml water tank with smart fluid adjustment and an auto-lifting mop to protect carpets.
  • Through the DJI Home app, users can access live video feeds from the robot and use an intercom function for remote monitoring and communication.
  • The lineup comprises three variants—entry-level S, midrange A and premium P with transparent chassis—priced from CNY 4,699 to CNY 6,799 in China.
  • With 25,000 Pa suction, three-hour battery life and AI-driven mapping stored locally, Romo aims to challenge established players in China’s crowded segment.
