DESIGN NAME: Hobot S6 Pro
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Window Cleaning Robot
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for the Hobot S6 Pro stemmed from the laborious and dangerous task of window cleaning. Its dual mop reciprocating polish function mimics human hand cleaning with unmatched speed and precision. The device includes an ultrasonic spraying function that replicates human breath on the window to dissolve stains. Research on static electricity's role in attracting dust led to a design that efficiently cleans and neutralizes static charge, significantly prolonging window cleanliness.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Hobot S6 Pro features a revolutionary dual mop reciprocating polish, wiping at 600 times per minute to remove dust and move steadily, and utilizes its dual ultrasonic spray to bring streak free cleaning result. Moreover, it can neutralize static electricity on the windows, keeping it long lasting spotless after cleaning. Paired with user friendly and eco friendly designs that include reusable cleaning cloths and conserve water, the Hobot S6 Pro is a leader of sustainable cleaning technology.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Operating the Hobot S6 Pro is simple. Attach it to the window and press the button to begin. It moves across from top to bottom, reversing at frameless edges or upon encountering obstacles and window frames, to ensure full coverage automatically. The high speed reciprocating dual mop mimics hand cleaning, while two ultrasonic nozzles emit a fine mist to dissolve stains. Control and monitor via the smartphone app, or use a remote for basic operations, getting the cleaning task done effortlessly.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project timeline for the Hobot S6 Pro began with the initial idea in November 2022. The first tooling phase was undertaken in July 2023, leading to mass production commencing in March 2024.
