Robotic vacuum cleaners have evolved from the initial “clumsy little worker” to a new species with “agile hands.” Imagine a robotic vacuum cleaner that can not only skillfully clean up floor debris but also extend and retract its mechanical arms to help you place slippers at the entrance and tidy up scattered children’s toys. This is not a scene from a sci-fi movie, but a true depiction of the new species of robotic vacuum cleaners that will debut at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

1. Clumsy Beginnings: The “Prehistoric Era” of Robotic Vacuum Cleaners A long time ago (actually just over a decade), robotic vacuum cleaners were nothing but “clumsy little workers.” At that time, they had awkward shapes, rudimentary navigation technology, often “getting lost” in homes, and even getting stuck under sofas. Their cleaning methods were simple and crude, relying on “bumping” and “wandering” to cover the ground. If they encountered stubborn stains or dust in crevices, they could only stare helplessly. Back then, people’s expectations for robotic vacuum cleaners were not high; as long as they could sweep up the large debris on the floor, they were considered “doing their job.” As for smart planning and precise navigation, those features were simply a luxury. However, despite their clumsiness, the emergence of robotic vacuum cleaners did bring some convenience to people. At least you no longer had to bend over with a broom to sweep the floor. For those suffering from severe laziness, this was already a great blessing.2. Intelligent Awakening: The Transformation from “Clumsy” to “Smart” As time passed, robotic vacuum cleaners gradually transformed from “clumsy little workers” into “smart little helpers.” This transformation is thanks to the rapid development of smart technology. Firstly, the navigation system underwent a revolution. From the initial random bump navigation to infrared navigation, laser navigation, and now visual SLAM navigation, the “eyes” of robotic vacuum cleaners have become increasingly bright. They can not only accurately map out the layout of the home but also adjust cleaning paths based on real-time conditions, avoiding repeated cleaning and omissions. Secondly, cleaning capabilities have significantly improved. From a single vacuuming function to adding mopping capabilities, and now to integrated sweeping and mopping with automatic cloth cleaning, the “skills” of robotic vacuum cleaners have become increasingly refined. They can easily handle various floor materials and intelligently adjust cleaning intensity based on the level of dirt. Moreover, the addition of smart connectivity technology has made robotic vacuum cleaners even more considerate. You can remotely control their cleaning schedule and mode through a mobile app, and even check cleaning progress and map trajectories. This way, you don’t have to worry about coming home to a mess.3. The Birth of Agile Hands: The Era of Robotic Vacuum Cleaners as a “New Species” Just when people thought the evolution of robotic vacuum cleaners had reached its peak, the emergence of the Chasing robotic vacuum cleaner as a new species once again refreshed people’s perceptions. This new species not only possesses a more intelligent navigation system and cleaning capabilities but also features bionic multi-joint robotic hand technology for the first time.

This mechanical hand is impressive! It has 5 degrees of freedom, with an extension distance reaching half the arm length of an adult (about 30cm), and can easily grasp objects with a diameter of 6cm and a weight of up to 400g. What does this mean? It means that robotic vacuum cleaners can not only clean floor debris but also help you tidy up your home!

Imagine coming home from work: as soon as you enter, you see the robotic vacuum cleaner busy placing your slippers at the entrance; walking into the living room, you find scattered children’s toys neatly organized by it; and you might even see it using its mechanical hand to wipe the grease off the stove in the kitchen… none of this is a dream! Of course, this mechanical hand is not just a “strongman” that does rough work. It also has its own accessory compartment! It can autonomously determine the current cleaning scenario and the level of dirt, then choose to clean with a sponge, brush, or other accessories, and complete the self-replacement. This way, the robotic vacuum cleaner can respond more precisely to various cleaning needs.4. Future Prospects: The Infinite Possibilities of Robotic Vacuum Cleaners With the debut of the Chasing robotic vacuum cleaner as a new species, we can’t help but start to envision the future of robotic vacuum cleaners. Perhaps in the near future, robotic vacuum cleaners will not only be limited to floor cleaning and simple tidying up. They might become “all-around little assistants” in the home, helping you take care of pets, look after children, and even cook meals! (Of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but it’s not completely impossible!) However, while the evolution of robotic vacuum cleaners is astonishingly fast, we should not completely rely on them. After all, they are just machines and cannot fully replace human emotions and wisdom. So, while enjoying the convenience brought by technology, we should also maintain a grateful heart and diligent hands.5. Conclusion: Saluting the Great Evolution of Robotic Vacuum Cleaners’ “Skills” From clumsy little workers to smart little helpers and now to a new species with agile hands, the evolution of robotic vacuum cleaners has been filled with hardships and challenges. But it is precisely these challenges that drive them to continually break through themselves and enhance their “skills.” Today, robotic vacuum cleaners have become an indispensable part of our lives. They not only lighten our household burdens and improve our quality of life but also show us the power of technology and infinite possibilities. Therefore, we want to pay the highest respect to everyone who has contributed to technological progress! We also want to thank those silent robotic vacuum cleaner assistants! They make our lives better and more convenient!
