Aurora Number One, designed by Max Li and Rock Liang of Maxrockrobot Intelligent Technology(Beijing) Co.,Ltd, is the first autonomous all-in-one cleaning robot specifically designed for future communities. Unlike existing cleaning robots that are mainly focused on households and large-scale commercial and office scenes, Aurora Number One fills the gap for community cleaning robots, addressing the complex community environment and technical barriers.
Measuring at 788*698*896mm, Aurora Number One introduces a mopping function, allowing for cleaning, sweeping, and mopping to be performed simultaneously. This innovative feature effectively removes common garbage, while the self-cleaning and air-drying mophead prevent secondary pollution and slippery floors. With a minimum cleaning distance along the edge of just 1cm, it efficiently tackles hard-to-reach corners, eliminating cleaning dead spots.
Aurora Number One is designed to be the helpful assistant of cleaning staff, taking care of the most labor-intensive part of cleaning, which accounts for more than 70% of the workload. The cleaning staff only needs to handle the facade and complex dead ends, while the robot autonomously operates, self-cleans, and docks at the full-function base station. This frees the cleaning staff from time-consuming maintenance tasks such as cleaning and drying mops, replacing dust boxes or trash cans, and tool maintenance.
Going beyond mere automation, Aurora Number One incorporates advanced intelligence features. It can autonomously recognize the degree of stains and switch to powerful cleaning modes when necessary. The robot also detects cleaning quality and repeats the cleaning process immediately if needed. Through continuous algorithm upgrades, Aurora Number One achieves cleaning efficiency comparable to manual cleaning, greatly improving overall cleaning effectiveness.
The introduction of Aurora Number One not only solves the challenge of recruiting and employing cleaning staff in communities but also significantly enhances the technological content of the community. With a cost equivalent to a year's salary for a cleaning staff member and negligible maintenance costs in subsequent years, this innovative design offers a cost-effective solution for community cleaning.
The sleek and professional design of Aurora Number One is a testament to its revolutionary approach. Its streamlined shape and simple lines not only save space but also seamlessly integrate into any community environment. This design embodies the perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics.
Aurora Number One, winner of the Bronze A' Design Award in Robotics, Automaton, and Automation Design in 2022, showcases outstanding creativity and resourcefulness. Recognized for its incorporation of best practices in art, science, design, and technology, this design contributes to improvements in quality of life, making the world a better place.
