Overview
- DJI unveiled the ROMO 2 lineup (P2 and A2) at IFA 2026 on Thursday as its next‑generation robot vacuum and mop with orders set to open in October.
- The company says ROMO 2 uses drone‑grade spatial perception and millimeter‑level sensing plus a LiDAR‑guided 123° robotic arm to detect thin or transparent obstacles and reach 7.8 cm farther under furniture.
- Mechanical upgrades include robotic legs that cross single and double step thresholds, a pressure plate and a carpet mode claiming up to 36,000 Pa suction, and a self‑cleaning base that DJI says can cut maintenance to as much as 365 days.
- DJI pledged a Local Data Mode coming in Q4 2026 that severs the DJI Home app’s internet link so obstacle camera and microphone data stay on the device, and users can disable sensors or delete stored data.
- The announcement follows past security problems with the original ROMO that exposed home feeds and floorplans, so buyers should expect real‑world testing and certification details to determine how the new privacy and safety claims hold up.
