[NetEase smart news on August 8] iRobot company said it will share the vision of future smart home robots at the 2017 World Robot Conference. Recently, a research report from Accenture pointed out that 24% of respondents indicated that current smart devices are too complicated, and 33% of users stated that they will consider the ease of operation of smart devices at the time of purchase. In addition, iControl Networks A research report also pointed out that nearly 60% of consumers want their smart devices to work autonomously without the user's prompts or operations. It is not difficult to imagine that once consumers in the future face hundreds of smart devices in their homes, it is difficult for them to manually manage and use these devices effectively. This will undoubtedly become a major challenge for smart homes. It is understood that iRobot believes that people can use home robots to build home physical space and maintain constant updates, and gain understanding of physical space, such as creating a map of the home space. In response, Dr. Chris Jones, vice president of iRobot technology, said: " The understanding of physical space allows intelligent devices in the network to determine their spatial relevance and operate autonomously in a coordinated manner.For example, when sensors in a home know which lights are in the same room, these sensors It is possible to automatically turn on the lights in a specific room when the person walks in. If there is no such understanding of the space, the consumer can only manually program the interactions between the devices to achieve the desired functions and effects when the user needs to manually When operating and managing hundreds of devices, availability and scalability cannot be discussed."
