DJI, the global leader in drone technology, has officially stepped into the smart home arena with the launch of its new Romo robot vacuum line-up. Featuring drone-grade sensors, advanced LiDAR mapping, and an incredible 25,000 Pa suction power, the DJI Romo series marks the company’s debut in home automation.
The new range starts at €1,299 ($1,511) and will be available from October 28, 2025, through store.dji.com and authorized retailers.
DJI’s Drone Technology Meets Smart Cleaning
The DJI Romo isn’t just another robot vacuum it’s a showcase of how DJI’s expertise in aerial imaging and obstacle detection translates beautifully to the floor.
At its core, Romo integrates a multimodal sensor system, including:
• Dual fisheye cameras for wide field vision
• Wide-angle solid-state LiDAR for precise 3D mapping
• AI-based obstacle detection and path planning
DJI claims the Romo can detect objects as small as 2 mm thick, including cables, socks, or even playing cards thanks to its machine-learning mapping engine. While these tests were done under controlled lab conditions, the technology promises real-world adaptability based on home layouts and firmware updates.
Powerful Cleaning Meets Intelligent Design
Underneath its sleek, minimalist shell, the Romo packs serious cleaning power. DJI has equipped it with:
• 25,000 Pa suction power
• 20 L/s airflow rate
• Dual high-speed roller motors (for hair and pet fur management)
• 164 ml adaptive water tank with automatic flow control
• Dual flexible side arms that extend to clean corners and walls
Its adaptive brush control intelligently reduces debris scatter when cleaning messy zones like pet areas or around litter boxes.
Self-Cleaning Base & Long Maintenance Cycles
The auto-wash base station takes convenience to the next level. It features:
• Four high-pressure water nozzles
• 16 mm waste outlet
• 12 N downward force for pad scrubbing
DJI claims the system can extend pad maintenance intervals up to 200 days under ideal test conditions, reducing the need for frequent manual cleaning.
Privacy & Smart Controls
The DJI Home app is central to the Romo experience, offering zone-based cleaning, scheduling, and real-time monitoring.
To address privacy concerns, DJI has implemented several safeguards:
• Two-factor authentication for camera access
• End-to-end encrypted video streams
• Option to disable all camera functions entirely
Dedicated cleaning modes include presents for carpets, kitchens, bathrooms, thresholds, and pet zones.
Pricing, Models & Availability
The DJI Romo line-up includes three premium models, each tailored for specific needs:
Model | Price (EUR) | Price (USD approx.) | Highlights
• Romo S | €1,299 | $1,511 | Standard version with LiDAR mapping and 25,000 Pa suction
• Romo A | €1,599 | $1,860 | Adds enhanced auto-wash and extended runtime
• Romo P | €1,899 | $2,210 | Transparent body, upgraded base, and extra cleaning fluid chamber
Official accessories include replacement brushes, a 4 cm ramp, and starter cleaning solutions.
DJI Romo: A New Chapter in Smart Homes
The DJI Romo series clearly signals DJI’s ambition to move beyond drones and cameras into the smart home ecosystem. With its advanced sensors, precise LiDAR mapping, and robust cleaning performance, the Romo line-up combines robotic intelligence with consumer convenience setting a new benchmark for premium robot vacuums in 2025.
If DJI’s first step into home automation is any indication, the future of smart cleaning just got a major upgrade.
