[138th] evaluation] JOJO intelligent mopping machine, but also need to go further!

Since the second half of 2014, smart sweeping/dust mopping robots have been developing rapidly as an emerging industry. Perhaps the first robots we have heard are mostly iRobots from Nasdaq in the United States, but after 2015 competition and competition, they also With the increase in people’s living standards and the pursuit of smart housekeeping, smart sweeping/dragging robots have become increasingly popular with millions of households. From iRobot and Philips from foreign countries to domestic brands Cobos, TCL, Haier, and Pusanike of Taiwan, many sweeping/dragging robot brands and many models are just a dazzling choice for us. A desirable robot is not easy.

First of all, talk about the author's dissatisfaction with the current products, because the use of a few sweeping, mopping machine is not very comfortable, so the author began to come up and I could not help but Tucao, but also please forgive me. Today's sweeping/dusting robots usually claim that their products have various path plans and can remember your home interior environment. However, most products are used when they are used (thus avoiding suspects, so the product brand used by the author is omitted here. Can be privately communicated) but can not achieve multiple uses to be able to plan the perfect route function, in other words, the current product is not smart, and even some product path is completely mistakenly hit arbitrary, see only the landlord anxious. Second, the life of these products is generally not high, despite the automatic back-fill function, but for the use of electricity security (strictly speaking, electrical equipment, including small electronic products are not allowed to start 24 hours, if it is a long time Electricity must be manned on duty or on guard.) Individuals do not recommend charging when nobody is at home. It is very dangerous if there is a circuit failure or even a fire. Third, the cleaning effect and the replacement cycle of consumables are not satisfactory either. In the end, there was a problem with noise. This was particularly prominent on sweepers. Due to the rotating noise of brush motors and the noise of vacuuming, it made people feel very noisy and even upset if someone used a sweeping robot at home. .

With the above four issues, we look at today's protagonist - Proscenic JOJO intelligent mopping robot.

Proscenic is a subsidiary of Pusanike Technology Co., Ltd. in Taiwan. Its English name is a combination of prosperous and scenic. It is intended to symbolize the future of intelligent life. In 1998, Taiwan launched the first intelligent sweeping robot, which has a long history and strong technical strength. Just in 2015, Proscenic developed the Pro-JOJO mopping robot, which was packaged in a local gold style consistent with the main colors of the fuselage.

Pro-JOJO is equipped with a navigation box, charger, manual, a white and blue special cleaning wipes, and dry wiping, wet towing splint. Two packs of wet wipes are also included with the package for supplemental use.

JOJO robots are very small in size and lighter in weight. The author can lift them easily with one hand. The buttons above are also very simple. They are the power button, dry erase button, and wet button.

From the bottom tab we can see the parameters of Proscenic Pro-JOJO, where the author is most interested in its battery capacity, 2500mAh battery manufacturers claim dry wipe for 4 hours, wet drag is 2.5 hours, charging needs 4 hour.

Well, let's first look at how the wet drag is installed. First remove the wet splint and a clean rag.

Through careful observation, we can see that there is a water inlet hole in the wet plywood, and the capacity is not very large. Tap space is used to hold tap water. On the side of the splint near the floor, water can seep through the two drip holes and the middle cotton cloth.

Here, we can clean the rag and we can easily stick it up. Pro-JOJO's adhesive part is on the side far away from the floor, and the brand's two-in-one robot is on the floor side. It can be said that JOJO's method is still desirable. Because the adhesion part is close to the floor side, the machine of the author's home will cause a large amount of dust accumulated on the adhesion site to cause the viscosity to drop.

After sticking the cleaning rag, align the holes of the splint directly to the raised part of the JOJO body to install it. At this point, we can see that the cleaning rags have been wetted by water.

Wet plywood uses sticking, while dry plywood uses toothed rubber strips. We use white cleaning wipes to insert the edges directly into the dry erase plywood strips. In practice, two methods are used. They are all very strong and there are no shedding problems.

In the full picture of the accessories we also see a box like this, this is the JOJO navigation box. Intelligent planning is a powerful part of JOJO. The external navigation box simulates the three-point positioning technology of GPS satellites and emits signals at three different angles to allow JOJO to avoid obstacles.

When the navigation box and JOJO are opened for the first time, their lights are blinking. The two can automatically establish a connection. After the pairing is successful, it is displayed as a stable blue light.

Well, let's click on the wet drag button and try the actual performance. When we click on the wet drag button, the wet power indicator light and the power light are always on. The first three indicators are working status indicators. When there are obstacles, the three indicators will flash in sequence, indicating that JOJO is thinking Route Kazakhstan.

Because I have never read the manual habits, compared to step by step instructions in accordance with the manual operation, the author prefers to get started directly, so that you can encounter many problems encountered in the use of white, more conducive to the process of exploration and explain to them know how. For example, when the author first opened the wet mop mode, the navigation box was placed on the floor of the living room. At this time, JOJO bumped up. Oh, we can look at the “accident scene” at that time through a video.

The navigation box should be placed in a higher position than the ground, and there can be no obstacles above it. The navigation box can simulate indoor GPS positioning by transmitting 3 signals upwards. The ARM+ gyroscope indoor home map plan allows JOJO to plan sweep maps, memorize walking routes, avoid meaningless sweeping and missed sweeps, and avoid the common drawbacks of traditional sweeping robots walking around and being trapped.

Proscenic Pro-JOJO's wet tow uses a Japanese-style wiper that simulates a manual rake. The propulsion force is transmitted to the rag by two power rollers. The left and right propulsion and hind legs completely imitate the process of mopping the mop. , through repeated movements to achieve the purpose of deep cleaning. Here, we can see the wet drag test video at the beginning of the article. Please click: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTQzMzQ4NDA3Ng==.html

Through the use of 40 minutes or so, some stains have been collected on the JOJO wet cleaning rag, and the water in the splint has also been used for more than half, leaving about 1/3 of the rest. It seems that if it has been wet, it can take about 1 hour to add water once.

Next, let's try out the dry erase mode of the JOJO Intelligent Mopping Robot. First of all, we choose a relatively clean floor environment.

After 20 minutes of dry wiping, we checked the stains on the cleaning rags and found that a lot of dust and hair invisible to the naked eye was easily obtained by Pro-JOJO. It is conceivable that if it is an environment that is not always clean, This rag may be difficult to complete the task, so, in order for JOJO to work easily, sweeping mop must be daily, if you are a lazy one or two weeks to clean up, then JOJO may not be able to help you. Of course, if we use JOJO every day, a rag should be fine.

In terms of security, JOJO does not have any slots. Whenever JOJO is picked up, JOJO will warn you with a red light and will not perform any command operation when you want to operate the dry scrub button.

Then, I have chosen a tiled floor area and artificially collected some residue stains to test the dry rubbing effect of JOJO. Through the trial, we can see that JOJO's dry wiping effect is still very good (for details, see Youku Video: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTQzMzQ4MzcyMA==.html ), where the residue has been cleaned The rags were collected. However, even so, if the amount of debris is too large, it must rely on the help of sweeping robots.

Hey, he accidentally ran to the floor of the sweeping robot. Fortunately, the goods were boring and still charging. Gently I'm gone. As I came gently, JOJO's rubber wheels and motor noise are very small. Once this sweeper is working, it is quite noisy. If you don't believe it, you can also watch the following video: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTQzMzQ4NTE1Ng==.html

The charging method of Proscenic Pro-JOJO mopping robot is not equipped with the automatic recharging function of common sweeping robots. We can only rely on manual manual charging. Whether it is the navigation box or the main body of JOJO, the power indicator shows orange when charging. Red, in addition, these two devices can only be charged one by one, no extra charger.

Although Proscenic Pro-JOJO is satisfied with the navigation path, the work can only be turned on and off by means of buttons. If we go out, we cannot understand the real-time working status of JOJO. This point has already been applied to other brands of sweeping/dragging robots. If equipped with a mobile phone client, we can not only understand the working status of the robot, but also easily change its operating mode, and even can run at regular intervals. These functions are also very practical.

to sum up:

After the author's use for a period of time, I personally think that JOJO intelligent mopping robot has good performance in GPS simulation navigation, path planning, edge drop prevention, imitating Japanese type scrubbing, and noise control, but it is far from the mind of the intelligent sweeper. Mopping robots have a certain amount of heart drop. First of all, for JOJO this product still has the following problems: 1. wet plywood water is too small, can only meet the workload of the day. 2. The weight of the splint is too small, and it is difficult to clean the rag more effectively to collect the stain. 3. The number of cleaning rags is too low, and accessories for consumables are expected to be more equipped by manufacturers. 4. No automatic recharging function. 5. Amorphous mopping function.

At the end of the article, I still want to talk about the smart sweeping/dragging robot I am looking for. I hope that in future products: 1. These robots can be equipped with cameras (if artificial intelligence develops to a certain extent, they can use the camera to identify the indoor environment and then plan routes), and the camera can also be used to view robots through the App client. Real-time working status video scene monitoring. 2. The water capacity of the splint should be greater. On the one hand, it can maintain the workload for at least two or three days. In addition, the weight of these waters can also act as a downward pressure rag to make the cleaning wipe more effective. 3. We hope to make use of the custom path of the mobile phone client so that under the artificially customized path, the robot can work more efficiently and save time.

The above is my trial report for the Proscenic JOJO intelligent mopping robot. I hope that there will be manufacturers or related professionals to see my evaluation feedback, especially for the future direction of the robot. I also believe that one day, my dream Will achieve!
