In this video I’m showing my experiences with the first generation Xiaomi Mi vacuum robot. I have nothing to compare it to but I am very impressed with its performance and reliability. To find out what makes it work so well I’ll disassemble it and look closely at the motors, battery, blower, sensors and mainboard.

What tektronix is that ? https://youtu.be/wglJz23Gt4w?t=125
Charles is like: they took urrr jobs!!!
Don’t get these vacuum robots. A task someone could do in like 10 minutes or so.
The suction power is even with the most expensive ones pretty poor.
Its these small youtubers that i live for
NO THE DOCK!

This has more in depth information about how it works.
Have you seen this talk on 34c3?
It looks like the same device to me 😉

Hey Marco, Ive just wanted to tell you, you can acces the laser much more easily. Just remove the top part and you can get it out easily 🙂 Also if you want to try the sensor and keep the vaccum running, just buy a repalcement for approx 100 usd.

Another awsome review .. and yup, dust get’s into everything any working/living area should be vacuum cleaned every single month if possible. Those with CNC or other work machines should be vacuum cleaned every week at least (ideally every day after suing such machines).
i remember my first time interfacing with a lidar unit

Like Dyson before, Roomba their premium prices will be reduced to just a brand name.
Another interesting aspect is the behavior of the dock. _Dog?_
No, the dock. _Dawg?_
The DOCK.
LOL!
Awesome!
nice video
aw yis, oldie but golgie 3CCD Canon camcorder. top marks for that beauty
Nearly identical to the Roomba in the physical parts. But the LIDAR, WiFi, and processor are a serious upgrade.
Always a pleasure when you upload, looking forward to seeing more about this device.
Nice shoes 🙂
my god
can you please send me raw footage of that clip from 3:10 to 3:20 ?
i wanna make a screenshot of it
bitte bitte bitte 😀
2:29 Where the hell is the reflection of your camera or yourself? Are you a vampire?
4:30 hahaha what you did there , with the pitch, do re mi …
The brush head is where these things usually fail. The gears fill with crap and deform.
As I can see, main MCU on this board is Allwinner R16 not stm32f103. R16 is pretty fast, though, and capable to run Android actually
There was a talk about this Robot at 34C3. They explained how they got an ssh connection to the installed Linux-OS (Ubuntu I think it was). Maybe you could interface with the Hardware in this device using the OS. That way you could still use it inbetween tinkering with it.
You might want to check out this talk from the 34C3 where some people hacked this thing, gave themselves root access and optionally removed all the cloud stuff: https://media.ccc.de/v/34c3-9147-unleash_your_smart-home_devices_vacuum_cleaning_robot_hacking
DANG! $700 ?
