  • Customization: Future updates will introduce additional capabilities like a mechanical arm, enhancing its operational scope.
  • Smart Navigation: Equipped with lidar, the robot creates detailed maps to navigate with "centimeter-level accuracy" and avoid obstacles.
  • Control Options: Users can operate the robot via the SwitchBot app or through voice commands using Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri Shortcuts.

FusionPlatform and Modular Design

The FusionPlatform enhances the K20 Plus Pro's capability by allowing it to carry various accessories weighing up to 18 pounds (8kg). Designed with multiple power ports, it allows users to connect different gadgets and even customize new attachments, making it a versatile addition to any smart home.
