About DJI

DJI is best known as the world’s leading drone manufacturer. Founded in 2006 and based in Shenzhen, China, the company has played a major role in shaping the modern drone industry. Its consumer drones are widely used for aerial photography, filmmaking, and recreational flying, while its professional models are used in industries ranging from agriculture to search and rescue.

At the core of DJI’s success is its expertise in robotics, imaging, and real-time navigation. The company designs and builds nearly all aspects of its hardware and software in-house, including flight control systems, camera stabilisation, and obstacle detection technologies. These systems have helped DJI set the standard for what users expect from intelligent, easy-to-use flying devices.

According to recent leaks, the company is preparing to expand into the robot vacuum market with the launch of Romo, it's first robot vacuum, in 2025. While not yet officially announced, early information suggests it will be a premium model aimed at competing with high-end brands.

Although a newcomer to the robot vacuum market, the same technologies that power DJI drones (precision sensors, spatial mapping, and real-time pathfinding) are also key to building a capable robot vacuum. If DJI brings its usual attention to design and performance, its first robovac could be a strong contender in the smart home market.
