Many of us are still open-mouthed seeing Sophia, the humanoid robot. Here’s another from Beatbot that will make you awestruck. Unlike Sophia, Beatbot iSkim Ultra is not a social humanoid but an equal opponent with so much to boast. This is not the first time Beatbot has amused us with its cool catalog of aquatic robots. Adding to the list comes the latest: Beatbot iSkim Ultra, the world’s first intelligent robotic pool skimmer. Let’s see what ‘pool’ of features it has to offer.
Beatbot iSkim Ultra: Cool Pool
The first and foremost feature of Beatbot iSkim Ultra is its purpose. It is designed to keep your swimming pool pristine. No matter if its windy summer or withering spring, Beatbot iSkim Ultra pool skimmers are ready to clean up the mess. All you have to do is place the Beatbot in the pool and power it on. It will move and remove the debris, leaves, cottonwood seeds, flowers, grass, and pollen from the water’s surface. The exciting fact about cleaning debris is that BeatBot can filter debris as small as 380 micrometers.
Key features: Remote Control
If you are in between something, there is no need for you should stand and watch Beatbot. Take control of the robot using an app-enabled remote. You can schedule the task and voice broadcast. Preset and adjust the speed and monitor water temperature. You can also summon it back, check the cleaning status and even view the cleaning logs! The Beatbot iSkim Ultra gives real-time updates like cleaning progress, operational status and critical alerts, for instance an alert on low battery through Voice Broadcast.
Advanced path navigation
Don’t bother about Beatbot hitting the pool walls. It can detect the walls and redirect its route. Thinking how? The Beatbot new skimmer does this with the help of tri-ultrasonic sensors with other seventeen sensors. The two above-water sensors avoid obstacles and the sensors together scan pool layout and comprehends water surface. The one underwater sensor aids in precise edge and corner detection and debris removal.
The 7-motor system (obstacle-handling mechanisms) facilitates reliable propulsion, automatic clarification and precise edge and surface debris cleaning. These motors enable efficient skimming power, precision and durability. This also means the Beatbot iSkim Ultra can clean every nook and corner of the pool. The system follows an S-shaped pattern to efficiently skim the water surface for reaching all edges and surfaces. (Water level should be at least 10 cm below the pool edge for the S-shaped pattern cleaning).
Automatic and Natural Water Clarification System
Not just cleaning, but Beatbot iSkim Ultra uses Beatbot’s ClearWater Clarification System implying that it provides quality of your pool. The automatically dispensed eco-friendly clarifier motors through the water and removes every speck including oils and metal residues. This prevents scum buildup. The Beatbot claims to have a 300mL reservoir that can clean up to 99,000 gallons. ‘Wonderpool’, isn’t it?
Debris Removal with Dual-Side Brushes
The notable feature of the Beatbot iSkim Ultra is its Comprehensive Brush, the latest technology. By this, it means having an ultra large 265mm front roller brush accompanied by dual side brushes. These dual side brushes reduce the chance of the Beatbot to push debris sideways on its motion and create a water flow that gathers debris towards the center. The front roller brush then sweeps the debris into its 9L filter. The filter has an anti-spill hatch design. This ensures that debris is neatly contained and leaves your pool crystal clear.
24W Solar Panel & 10,000 mAh Battery
The iSkim Ultra has a 24W solar panel paired with a 10,000mAh battery. This helps you run the robot without worrying about the sunlight. If you want to work it during the night, you can use the wireless charger. However, the SolarTrack™ light energy tracking technology enables the robot in long uninterrupted cleaning. This also means less frequent recharging.
Availability and Pricing
The Beatbot iSkim Ultra having a 2-Year Warranty and 14 industry certifications are rapidly running out because of its high demand. It costs $1,499 and is now available for preorder. A select number of units are available for the early-bird special price of $999.
