Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
NewsSmart SecurityRoborock Enters the Robot Lawn Mower Market: What’s So Special About It?
Roborock is primarily known for its feature-rich robot vacuum cleaners. The manufacturer recently made headlines with the first robot vacuum cleaner with a mechanical arm. Now, the Chinese giant is breaking new ground by making a mark in a new appliance category. In this article, you can read about Roborock’s approach and what customers can expect from the company.
RockMow Z1: What Roborock’s Flagship Model Cannot Do
The RockMow Z1 is the new flagship model among Roborock’s robot lawn mowers. Thanks to an all-wheel drive mechanism and a special steering and suspension system, it can also cope perfectly with large and demanding gardens. It can even handle gradients of up to 80 percent with ease. The technology sports an independent wheel hub and steering motors, making it particularly interesting. As a result, the robot lawn mower not only drives through bends precisely, but also prevents it from slipping down slopes. This is supported by the Dynamic Suspension System, which provides additional stability.
For navigation, the RockMow Z1 combines RTK satellite technology with VSLAM image recognition to measure the garden precisely. The mowing system was designed in a way that it can get within 3 centimeters of the lawn edges.
RockMow S1 & RockNeo Q1: Robot Lawn Mowers for Medium- and Small-sized Gardens
If you prefer a more compact model, the RockMow S1 is the perfect alternative. This robot lawn mower scored with a particularly simple setup: Thanks to artificial intelligence, the garden’s boundaries are automatically recognized, doing away with the need for a boundary wire. Like the flagship model, the S1 also cuts within 3 centimetres of the garden’s edge. It also safely maneuvers through passages that are only 70 centimetres wide. Slopes with a gradient of up to 45 degrees are also not a problem. The RockMow S1 was designed for medium-sized gardens and, according to the manufacturer, can cover an area of around 1,000 m² in 24 hours.
The RockNeu Q1 is the entry-level model from Roborock. It offers intelligent mapping and also a 3 cm edge cutting function, as well as the ability to handle slopes with a gradient of up to 45 percent. In short, Roborock’s RockMow series promises plenty theoretically. If the robot lawn mowers deliver on what they promised, they could put some serious pressure on the existing competition from Husqvarna, Worx, or Ecovacs.
