Reinigung von Boden, Wänden und Wasserlinie
Unlike simple pool robots that primarily focus on the pool floor, the RockAqua P1 is designed to be able to clean several areas of a pool independently.
According to Roborock, in addition to cleaning the pool floor, the robot also cleans the pool walls and the waterline. It can also clean shallow areas and platforms, provided they are up to 15 centimeters below the water's surface.
This means the device is also suitable for more complex pools with different levels, transitions and steps.
Roborock uses adaptive navigation for orientation. This is complemented by image-based obstacle detection. This allows the robot to recognize features such as drain covers and steps and adjust its route accordingly.
Up to 25.700 liters of water per hour
For the actual cleaning process, Roborock specifies a circulation or suction capacity of approximately 25.700 liters per hour.
The machine is designed to collect both fine dirt and sand, as well as larger debris such as leaves. The collected dirt is stored in a four-liter container.
The RockAqua P1 uses a two-stage filter system. According to the manufacturer, the filters are designed for particle sizes of up to 180 and 70 micrometers, respectively.
The robot can adjust its suction power depending on the level of dirt detected. If the device encounters larger accumulations of dirt, it changes its power so that particles are not unnecessarily stirred up.
The camera should be able to detect heavily soiled areas.
Roborock also integrates a function called "ClearVision Smart Patrol Cleaning" for the targeted detection of heavily soiled pool areas.
The robot is designed to independently identify such areas and prioritize them during cleaning. Roborock is thus transferring a principle to pool maintenance that is already used in many robotic vacuum cleaners. Instead of simply following fixed paths, the device is intended to adapt its cleaning strategy to the actual level of dirt.
Up to 3,5 hours of battery life
According to the manufacturer, the RockAqua P1 achieves a runtime of up to 3,5 hours when cleaning the pool floor. This means the model should be able to clean even larger swimming pools in a single pass.
An intelligent motor control system adjusts the energy consumption to the specific conditions in the pool and the amount of dirt detected.
The robot waits at the waterline after cleaning.
Once the cleaning process is complete or the battery level drops below a certain value, the RockAqua P1 automatically returns to the waterline.
The robot waits there to be removed from the pool. A quick-drain function allows most of the water inside to drain out before it is completely lifted out of the pool. This is intended to reduce the weight during removal.
The status of the pool robot can be monitored via an app. Users can also configure cleaning routines and adapt them to their own pool.
Roborock is looking for new markets beyond robotic vacuum cleaners.
Roborock has not yet announced a price or a specific release date for the RockAqua P1 at IFA. Further information regarding availability will follow at launch.
