- Super affordable entry level smartphones from Alcatel, bringing modern Smartphone features and making them accessible to consumers around the world. With new designs, experiences, these all-new 2019 smartphones include the TCL-made Full View Display.
ECOVACS ROBOTICS
DEEBOT: The AI-Powered Floor Cleaning Robot
At CES 2019, ECOVACS will officially unveil how its advanced AIVI (Artificial Intelligence and Visual Interpretation) technology is implemented in its latest AI-powered robot – DEEBOT OZMO 960. By introducing object/environment recognition in addition to spatial recognition, ECOVACS AIVI matches DEEBOT OZMO 960’s surroundings and foreign objects that recognize selected household obstacles lying around the floor, such as cables, shoes, socks and charging dock, meaning users no longer have to pick up or remove these obstacles themselves for their robots.
ECOVACS AIVI can also be easily adapted to different home environments allowing the DEEBOT to optimize its navigation route so that it can plan and fulfill its cleaning tasks in the most intelligent and efficient way, saving both time and energy for users. While user data and privacy will be safeguarded, and no images will be recorded and sent back to ECOVACS or to third parties, users may also choose to “opt-in” and send their data back to ECOVACS as the company is dedicated to designing, testing and improving its AI technology based on robust research and training data.
ATMOBOT: The Smart Autonomous Air Purifying Robot
ECOVACS will also introduce the ATMOBOT mobile air purifier to the global market at CES 2019. ATMOBOT features a Laser Distance Sensor and ultra-sonic sensors, which can create a virtual map of its surroundings to detect obstacles in the area, allowing the robot to map an efficient path around users’ homes. The robot will scan and section out a user’s home to automatically select a purification spot in each area, start purifying, and move to the next spot when the air quality reaches adequate levels. ATMOBOT also moves intelligently so everyone in the family can enjoy clean, fresh air in every part of their home, instead of having to carry a weighty air purifier from one room to another.
With four layers of HEPA filter on both sides and three levels of fan power, ATMOBOT offers peace of mind regarding its air purification ability. The robot works autonomously and intelligently after recharging, meanwhile users can also pair it with the ECOVACS App to enjoy full control and the freedom to choose which area to start air purifying by manually setting up purification spots on the virtual map.
Australian pricing and availability is to be confirmed for the ECOVACS Atmobot and Deebot Ozmo 960.
