ILIFE's contribution to CES 2019 came with the unveiling of its A9 Series of robot cleaners, which are specifically touted as "robot vacuums with senses." The A9 and A9s robots that make up the A9 Series introduce the next generation of products from the robot vacuum brand, which feature upgraded PanoView Navigation and Gen 3 CyclonePower Cleaning Systems.
The robots boast sleek record vinyl exteriors and powerful internal controls to support a smart cleaning experience at home. The A9 robot boasts the ability to "see" its surroundings thanks to the inclusion of a live-vision camera and an Alexa-compatible speech recognition system allows the bot to "hear" orders from owners and interpret given commands. Taking this technology a step further, the A9s include an artificial vibrating water tank for sweeping and mopping.
