Engineered with unique Dyson Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) technology, the Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ has a 360-degree vision system which knows where it has been, sees where to clean, and is intelligent enough to respond to dust sensed in the home and create dust maps of your home. The high-level processor thinks and adapts, collecting data from sensors to pinpoint its position within 71mm. 26 sensors on the robot performs specific tasks, including dust detection, obstacle avoidance and detecting walls to clean right to the edge.
The Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ was developed by a team of engineers across Dyson campuses in the UK, Singapore, Philippines and Malaysia, with many based at Dyson’s new RDD Centre for Robotics at Hullavington, UK.
The robot has a 360-degree vision system, using a fisheye lens which allows the robot to have a panoramic view of the home and accurately interpret its surroundings. Its SLAM vision system processes the information from the camera and remembers where it has been, and knows where to clean.
A Dyson Hyperdymium™ motor spins up to 110,000rpm to deliver six times the suction of any other robot vacuum. It also features Dyson’s new triple-action brush bar – Dyson’s first brush bar to combine three ways to deep clean with powerful suction: soft ‘Fluffy’ nylon for large debris pick up on hard floors; anti-static carbon fibre filaments for fine dust pick up on hard floors; and stiff nylon bristles to dig into carpets.
Cleaning edge-to-edge was an important part of the brief, and along with the full-width brush bar, the robot also features a side edge actuator to redirect suction to the side. Wall-follow sensors allow it to get up to the edge of a room and follow the wall, deploying the actuator to pick up dust from the edge.
The Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ works in tandem with the MyDyson™ app to intelligently navigate and clean. Features on the app include the ability to create, customise and schedule zones. Owners can define zones in their home and set it to clean at specific times of the day.
Armed with a dual link suspension system, the Dyson 360 Vis Nav™ can climb up to 21mm. The machine has a low profile and can clean under furniture up to 99mm in height, easily navigating under and around furniture.
Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot core technology:
Dyson Hyperdymium™ motor: Spins at up to 110,000rpm to deliver the most powerful suction of any robot. Ten cyclones create forces of 100,000g to capture dust from the airflow, so there’s no loss of suction as the robot cleans.
360 degree vision system: Remembers where it’s been and sees where to clean. Its high-level processor rapidly maps and remembers where it’s been and 26 sensors ensure obstacle avoidance.
Piezo sensor: Detects and reacts to changes in dust levels. A piezo sensor monitors dust levels 15,000 times a second to detect invisible particles invisible to the human eye, automatically increasing suction power where needed.
Edge cleaning: Automatically cleans edges and corners. One of the biggest challenges for any robot. Solved. Sensors detect the edges of a room to redirect suction through a side-actuator. The D-shaped body and full-width front-mounted brush bar help it reach into corners.
Smart home connectivity with the MyDyson™ app: The MyDyson™ app can be used to: create and customise zones; schedule cleans; set rules and routines; and control via voice control.
Deep cleaning reports: Maps dust hotspots throughout your home, automatically increasing suction power when needed. Then through the MyDyson™ app, provides scientific proof of a deep clean.
Software updates:Keep up to date with the latest functionality and features. The robot will automatically receive software updates over wi-fi.
Triple-action brush bar: Dyson’s first brush bar to combine three ways to deep clean: soft ‘Fluffy’ nylon for large debris pick up on hard floors; anti-static carbon fibre filaments for fine dust pick up on hard floors; and stiff nylon bristles to dig into carpets.
Pet-friendly cleaning: Wide diameter brush bar is engineered to reduce tangling. HEPA filtration captures particles the size of pet dander. It also features a Quiet mode for pet-friendly cleaning.
Whole machine HEPA filtration:Dyson’s fully-sealed HEPA filtration system traps dust and seals in 99.99% of particles as microscopically small as 0.1 microns– the size of pet dander and diesel soot.
Four cleaning modes:Auto mode to analyse dust levels and automatically optimise suction power; Quick mode to top-up cleaning for open areas; Quiet mode for quieter cleans and longer run time; and Boost mode for maximum suction and a deeper clean.
Hygienic one-handed bin emptying: One-touch ejection mechanism drives out dirt at the press of a button
Runtime: Up to 50 minutes of run time before automatically recharging, ready to clean again.
