The World’s First Robot Vacuum and Mop Reimagined to Defend Privacy of Your Home

Appreciate your feedback.

Totally understand and the use case and really appreciate your feedback. We hope to resolve that in diff way. Just things kind of like truck vs suv vs sedan — we will just need dif…

Hello HN, we have completely reinvented Robot Floor Cleaners with tesla-like cameras only approach with just 5-RGB cameras and all processing on device (no cloud). It's private by …

Will add lot of it... before it can navigate precisely, it has to know what's in front of it. Lidar is a one-laser, it cannot see what's above or beyond that one pointer, so it's b…

Good to know. Thank you!

Yep, roborocks have done a great job maximizing disc bots. And like any other Xiomi product, they tend to do slightly better job with software/app.

Ours self-cleans so eliminates the hassel of having to replace it after every cleaning cycele.

For sure! So far field trial results have been great, but we've got work to do before we ship. Lots of bugs to squash! Thanks.

Shiiping outside will happen for sure. In terms of size, it's ~1x1 feet and far smaller than some of the docks that come with disc bots these days. The reason for 1 feet height is …

We will ship to UK as soon as we can - just starting with the US for now. In terms of integration with Home Assistants -- again zero problem in doing this. We will eventually get t…

Also, families care a lot about privacy, and right or wrong, there's an inheritant mistrust of cloud based disc bots and especially those coming from China. We do not beleive anyon…

Ultimately, we're striving for great user experience which we can do with the bags. Our goal is to make bags as cheap as possible and already it's a $3/bag which is way cheaper tha…

Thank you for your kind feedback. The choice of lack of dock is deliberate one -- when we did research with our target audience -- familes and working parents with kids/pets, we re…

Totally understand. Here's a review from the first look demo that we gave to reporter from Wired. https://www.wired.com/story/matic-robot-vacuum-first-look/ And, yes, we're startin…

Thank you. Cleaning head is 2 inches tall and extends up to 3 inches below furniture. It cleans all the visible dirt and goes underneath anything that’s taller than ~14”. It’s desi…

Thank you. Thats correct. Membership is OPTIONAL. Users are welcome to buy bags and rolls a la carte. And Membership is more peace of mind with all-you-can-clean like unlimited bag…

Cost is in computes and lack of economies of scale. Have to take Tesla like high-end to more affordable overtime approach. Disc robots have been around for 20 years. Most are exact…

Single pixel lidars are not enough. Anything higher is way too expensive. Also, Indoor world is designed with our vision first perception. We think robots need to be imbued with si…

Thanks for the detailed feedback and thoughts. 1. Yes, our core users are young families: working parents with young children and pets. Clutter and rate of entropy is just higher. …

Yep. The diff is dynamic and continuous mapping.

Yes. Its at 4x the speed.

Check out maticrobots.com. I am obviously biased as I am one of the co-founders but we truly have built the next-gen 10x better, fully autonomous mopping and vacuuming bot. We have…
