DJI, a leading manufacturer of drones and robotics, has introduced the DJI ROMO 2 series of robot vacuums, which include the ROMO P2 and ROMO A2 models. These new devices are equipped with advanced technologies originally developed for DJI's drones, particularly in navigation and obstacle avoidance. The company claims the robot vacuums are equipped with a perception system that offers "millimeter-level awareness of floor-level obstacles," allowing them to detect and avoid small items like cables and adjust their cleaning methods depending on the floor's surface. Additionally, the ROMO 2 models include a built-in light that helps reveal dirt and obstacles in dimly lit environments, improving their performance in low-light settings. The ROMO P2 model features a LiDAR-guided mopping arm that can swing 123 degrees, enabling it to clean under furniture like sofas and cabinets. It also includes a pressure plate capable of generating up to 36,000 Pa of suction, ensuring effective cleaning of hard-to-reach areas. Both models are designed with robot legs that allow them to step or double-step over obstacles as high as 8.5 cm. The ROMO P2 comes with a translucent base station, while the ROMO A2 features a white base station. Although DJI has not detailed other differences between the models, it's possible the P2's base station includes additional features not found on the A2. DJI has also introduced a new data privacy feature called Local Data Mode, which is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2026. This mode, previously used in DJI drones, disconnects the DJI Home app from the internet, preventing photos or videos captured by the robot vacuum from being sent to external servers. Users can also disable the vacuum’s camera and microphone, and any personal data shared with DJI can be deleted. Whether these privacy features will be enough to exempt the ROMO 2 models from a recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ban on certain robot vacuums remains uncertain. The DJI ROMO P2 is priced at €1,299 and includes a translucent base station, while the ROMO A2 is available for €1,199 with a white base station. Both robot vacuums will be available for purchase directly from DJI or through select retail partners starting in September.
