In a gray city with two ends for three days, the bad air is no longer a new thing. People only look forward to the moment when they get home from work to lie in bed and take a breath of fresh air. The “life-saving straw” in their home is an air purifier.
There are more and more young people with air purifiers at home, but there are also many problems: Many people buy a purifier, the foggy day turns on, the sunny day turns off, and then they are too lazy to start it The purifier was left idle as an “ash accumulator”. A traditional purifier can only purify one person’s room. Your roommate wants to temporarily borrow your purifier, but it is too big and heavy to move. You and your family share a purifier in the living room, but The day was getting darker, and each returned to the bedroom, leaving the freshness with it, leaving the night with a boring breath. At a time when technology is becoming more and more advanced, people are like returning to ancient times when a group of people warmed around a campfire.
So when I got Cobos ’air purification robot Qinbao Ava, the deepest impression it left me was: This is an air purifier that can” walk “.
After all, this also means that it can clean every room in my house by itself, without having to move around, without having a room and a house, and people under the house have finally begun to have the opportunity to enjoy the blessing together.
Holding thisLooking forward, I opened the box of this air purifier.
Appearance: simple and compact, fresh color matching
Qinbao Ava is Cobos’s new air purification robot this year. The overall design is simple and neat, and it looks smaller and lighter. It can be picked up with two hands without effort. I got the red and blue models. The blue filter element is particularly prominent, with a little fresh taste of sky blue.
Although this is the first time to contact Cobos’ air purification robot, it is easy to get started. Install the filter element, charge it, and start using it. There is also a strap on the back of Qinbao Ava’s filter element, which is easy to pull out and gently pull, just like pulling a drawer, it slides out easily.
Mobile purification: efficient and intelligent purification of the whole house without intervention
When you open your door, let’s see how it “walks” by itself.
Qinbao Ava uses a technology called “TrueMapping ™ Global Planning”, which is innovatively equipped with dToF sensors.
This is a new navigation technology in the industry. You may have heard of the ToF technology that can measure the distance of a 3D scene. In fact, the ToF technology is also divided into iToF (indirect time of flight) and dToF (direct time of flight). It makes up for the shortcomings of the former, and also allows the resolution to reach the PS level. In short, it can make the visual recognition method of the purifier more human-like.
But dToF technology must integrate very precise sensor devices, taking into account all kinds of data processing and optical control.The implementation is very complicated, so there are very few suppliers. Previously, only Apple was the first to commercialize dToF technology and use it on the latest iPad Pro.
This time, Cobos allowed the technology to be used for the first time in a home service robot.

When Qinbao Ava started cleaning, at first, it would scan the room by itself to build a map of the whole house.
The whole process is a bit silkier than I thought. It looks familiar in my room, and it doesn’t look like it’s new at first. At the moment I pressed the “Purify the Whole House” button, Qinbao Ava seemed to be logically “family”, and looked around in the room smoothly.
The new navigation technology can also make people notice the improvement of recognition speed. According to the official report, compared with the previous generation product Qinbao AA30, Qinbao Ava’s movement speed is increased by 60%, which can reach 0.2 m / s.
This speed is similar to the actual experience. In about 20 minutes, Qinbao Ava has established a map of five rooms.

Coupled with the new TrueDetect ™ 3D sensing technology, Qinbao Ava can identify obstacles faster and avoid obstacles in real time.
This technology uses reflected light signals to detect and identify, so that the machine can keep interacting with or avoid objects safely.This technology will be used more widely in future autonomous driving and drones.
Qin Bao Ava looks quite lively when he moves in the room. He will not touch the tables and chairs, or even the strange objects scattered from time to time at home. I deliberately threw a toy box on the ground. When it passed, it seemed to greet the box, politely greeted and left.
Compared to the previous generation, it also has twice the obstacle surmounting ability, and can sense obstacles beyond 20mm. There is also a real benefit of less stubbornness and less touch, that is, it has a longer service life.
In addition, Qinbao Ava is also equipped with multiple infrared sensors, drive wheels and universal wheels. The infrared sensor can prevent falling, and a variety of wheels can make walking more flexible, so it won’t walk for a while like some inferior sweeping robots, and it will stop for a while when it hits the sofa.

These features make it very suitable for large-sized homes-such as proactively cruising the air in all rooms, matching the accelerated purification speed without making walking a burden, and it can cover 200 square meters For ordinary families, space is more than enough.
It can be used with Qinbao Ava, as well as peripheral detectors. With it, the air purifier can actively “strike.”
Compared with the previous purifier can only be combined with a single peripheral detector, this time Qinbao Ava can be linked with up to 5 peripheral detectors, if you put a detector in each room, it can The air quality of the entire house is monitored in real time, and when it is found that there is pollution, it will go over and absorb it by itself.
I tested lighting a cigarette in the room. As soon as the smoke was half-burned, Qinbao Ava immediately ran over to check the degree of air pollution and quickly absorbed the smoke. At this speed, people outside the room probably won’t smoke second-hand smoke.
There is also a more humane place.
I have previously demonstrated its two modes, “Full House Cruise Purification” and “Linked Purification”. After the purifier is connected to the Cobos app on my phone, you can also “specifyPurify anywhere ”, let Qinbao Ava specifically clean the air in a certain place. After cleaning, it will obediently return to the charging place to recharge.
In this process, Qinbao Ava brought me the biggest feeling is that it is not only a purification robot, but a purification robot that “knows” more people.
Then the key question comes: how clean is it?
Purification ability: blowing a cleaner wind in a smarter way
When it comes to cleaning ability, you must first go back to its filter element and take a look.
This time Qinbao Ava’s filter element is directly exposed, which means that it can directly contact the air. The advantage is that it will be faster when filtering the pollutants in the air.
