Advanced Obstacle Avoidance

The Freo Z Ultra is equipped with obstacle detection technology that allows it to recognize over 120 types of objects, pinpointing their location with millimeter-level precision. The robot is capable of cleaning around safe objects, such as table legs, while avoiding hazards like pet accidents. It uses dual cameras and side sensors to maximize cleaning coverage and minimize the need for manual intervention.

Carpet and Mopping Capabilities

The Freo Z Ultra automatically adjusts its functions depending on the surface type. For carpets, the vacuum increases suction power and lifts the mop to avoid wetting the fabric. For hard floors, dual mops operate at 180RPM with 1.2kg of scrubbing pressure, designed to remove stubborn stains. The vacuum also features EdgeSwing technology to clean up to the walls and includes a baseboard cleaning module for dust along baseboards.

Hands-Free Base Station Features

The base station offers a range of automated features, including a self-cleaning mop function and automatic water refilling. Mops and the base station itself are dried with 104°F hot air to prevent mold and odors. The station also includes an auto detergent dispenser and electro-water sterilization to enhance the cleaning process.
