IT Home News, according to "LatePost" last night, citing DJI sources, DJI wants to make sweeping robots. The reason for this move is that the technology used in this product is consistent with DJI's years of accumulation, including path planning, visual recognition and obstacle avoidance, high-performance motors, and lidar, etc., which DJI has reserves when developing drones.
According to the report, DJI has been developing sweeping robots for four years, and if all goes well, it is expected to be released in the middle of next year, with a price close to that of high-end sweeping robots on the market. DJI responded, "We do not comment on unreleased products and rumors related to them."
It is reported that DJI hopes to promote the company's continued growth with the help of categories such as sweeping robots. In an interview in 2016, Wang Tao, founder and CEO of DJI, judged: "The drone market is about to be saturated, and DJI's revenue of 20 billion yuan may be at its peak." "DJI's revenue for the year increased by more than 60% year-on-year to nearly 10 billion yuan.
IT Home also learned from the report that DJI has postponed the release of the robot vacuum cleaner at least twice. One was last year and the other was in May of this year. A DJI person said that after reading the products planned to be launched, Wang Tao decided not to sell them, and directly sold the second generation, "basically remaking the product." A person close to DJI said that many of DJI's new projects do not have the opportunity to go public, and "sweeping robots also have this risk", although DJI has set a plan to launch sweeping robots next year.
