ROMO P2, ROMO A2 and ROMO S V2
As with the first generation, DJI is again offering three models to cover different price ranges. The higher-end ROMO P2 and A2 models now achieve a suction power of up to 36.000 Pascals, while the more affordable model remains at around 30.000 Pascals.
Even the first ROMO performed well in our test (Right this way) impresses with its very reliable dirt pickup, especially on hard floors and with fine dust. With the significantly increased performance, DJI will likely now focus on improving its capabilities, particularly for carpets and deeply embedded dirt.
Climbing capabilities have also been improved. While the predecessor already navigated apartments quite well, it naturally reached its limits with higher thresholds. The new models are said to be able to overcome single-step obstacles up to 4 centimeters high. For multi-step transitions, DJI even specifies a capacity of up to 8,5 centimeters. The landing gear is extended slightly to achieve this.
For navigation, DJI continues to rely on a combination of laser radar (LiDAR), camera systems, and time-of-flight (ToF) sensors derived from the drone sector. Obstacle detection has been improved, allowing even very small objects like cables or challenging surfaces such as glass and transparent obstacles to be detected and avoided more reliably. Additionally, object recognition has been expanded, enabling better classification and avoidance of previously unknown obstacles.
Alongside the technological advancements, one issue remains in the back of our minds, one that plagued the predecessor. At the beginning of the year, a security vulnerability was discovered that allowed unauthorized access to the live camera function of many devices. DJI has stated that it has since closed this vulnerability.
