DJI says ROMO 2 connects during initial setup to create its map. After Local Data Mode is enabled, maps, images and navigation data are stored and processed locally. Cleaning, obstacle avoidance and return-to-dock remain available without internet access. Users can disable obstacle-photo display, automatically delete images older than 14 days and erase data through a factory reset.

RoboticsThe system combines a task planner, a CNC controller equipped with Mitsubishi’s Maisart AI and a general-purpose humanoid. A basic operator instruction is translated into steps and divided between machine and robot. Mitsubishi says the robot can prepare and clean the machine, move parts, inspect output and respond to selected problems.

RoboticsEcho Tabletop is about 32 inches tall, weighs 25 pounds and has 17 degrees of freedom for $11,950. The $59,950 Full Body version stands 72 or 77 inches, weighs about 88 pounds and offers 39 degrees of freedom, mainly upper-body movement. The initial run is limited to 225 tabletop and 25 full-body units.

RoboticsThe August order places qualifying robots in the L vehicle category. They may be approved for roads, excluding pavements, within their technical authorisation. Regulatory ceilings can reach four metres long, two metres wide, 2.5 metres high and a one-tonne payload. These are maximum boundaries, not a description of every future street robot.
