Eureka’s robotic vacuum can detect liquid stains and cut itself free of tangles


Eureka, a household cleaning pioneer with over a century of history, has unveiled its Eureka J15 Max Ultra robotic vacuum.

It has an extendable side brush and mop for accessing the tightest corners, enhanced obstacle-crossing capabilities to glide smoothly over thresholds, and a powerful 22,000 Pa suction system for cleaning performance. When encountering wet messes, it commands the robot to automatically rotate its body, prioritize mop cleaning, and lift the roller brush to prevent liquid from entering the dustbin. These images are processed by powerful AI algorithms trained to identify subtle differences in surface reflections and texture, enabling the robot to detect liquids clearly, even transparent ones.
