New DJI ROMO, features, price and technical sheet

by

For years, DJI has developed drones andcameras that define a good part of the sector. Now, the Chinese company lands in a very different scenario: that of robot vacuum cleaners. ROMO is the first step in a strategy that brings to the home the same precision that the company has been honing in the air for years. The movement is not surprising so much because of the technology, but because of the change in terrain. DJI leaves the sky for a moment to test if its engineering also works on the ground. Its new line is the result of a technical approach that DJI has mastered for years: obstacle detection and precise navigation. Instead of focusing on revolutionary features, the company has fine-tuned the elements it considers essential for error-free cleaning. Each model combines optical sensors and planning algorithms to cover more surface area and avoid collisions. The proposal is also supported by the DJI Home app, which adds specific modes (carpets, thresholds, pet areas) and alerts about the status of the tank or cloths. Flight technology to avoid socks and cables The ROMO detection system integrates optical sensors and LiDAR wide scope to generate detailed knowledge of the environment. DJI explains that data from both is combined using machine learning, allowing you to accurately recognize and avoid obstacles. Among the examples cited are thin cables or cards in a deck. This recognition also makes it easier to move under furniture and plan routes without blind areas. For DJI, the value of ROMO is not just in the sensors, but in how it interprets space. The company states that it has transferred part of the planning algorithms it uses in drones to these robots, with the aim of tracing more coherent routes and avoiding unnecessary movements. According to its description, the device can identify obstacles such as socks or cables and adjust its strategy without stopping. It also reduces speed when it detects loose debris. DJI’s stated suction power for the ROMO series reaches 25,000 pascals and an air flow of 20 liters per second, although the company does not specify whether these figures correspond to a specific model or the entire range. The system combines a “high-performance” motor with an internal flow-optimized design, and sensors automatically adjust the speed and movement of the side brush to prevent debris from being dispersed. According to the manufacturer, roller brushes with high-torque motors help collect hair without clogging. ROMO incorporates dual flexible arms that extend and retract based on available space, guided by real-time mapping and edge algorithms. This mechanism allows for deep cleaning along walls, corners and irregularly shaped furniture. In parallel, the mopping system has a 164 ml tank that keeps the cloths moist and adjusts the water flow when it detects stubborn stains. Sweeping always precedes scrubbing, which prevents dirt from moving before being removed. The ROMO base station is presented as an autonomous cleaning and emptying system. It combines high-pressure water jets with a 16mm chute to remove debris from cloths and a mechanism that applies 12 newtons of downward pressure to improve washing. The set is designed to operate during long periods without maintenancewith an estimated autonomy of up to 200 days. In addition, the base incorporates a sound suppression system with chambers and silencers that reduces suction noise by around 80%. All ROMO management is centralized in the DJI Home app, which includes different smart cleaning modes. These include options for rugs, thresholds or areas where pets are present, as well as the ability to customize the intensity and order of tasks. The system sends warnings when the water tanks or dust container are full and allows the robot’s activity to be monitored remotely. Access to the camera requires two-step authentication and videos are transmitted encrypted, in addition to being able to disable the video function completely. Within the range, the ROMO P incorporates a finish with transparent panels that reveal the internal structure both in the base and in the robot itself, and an additional compartment for deodorizer that can be dispensed along with the cleaning solution on the mop cloths. The ecosystem is completed with a official accessories linesuch as brushes, cloths, self-sealing bags, cleaning fluids and an auxiliary ramp. DJI does not detail other hardware differences between P, A and S. ROMO will debut in a segment where actors with solid proposals already coexist. iRobot stands out with the Roomba Max 705designed to manage pet hair. Roborock has gone one step further with the Saros Z70which incorporates an extendable robotic arm. And Dreame, with him Aqua10 Ultra Roller Completehas focused its commitment on the cleaning and maintenance of mops. DJI thus enters a category where innovation is not measured only in power, but in the ability to solve increasingly complex household tasks. Price and availability of the new DJI ROMO The ROMO series is now available through the DJI online store and authorized resellers, with shipments beginning today. The range is made up of three versions: ROMO P: from 1,899 euros ROMO A: from 1,599 euros ROMO S: from 1,299 euros. DJI has not detailed the exact hardware differences between them.

accelerate the ‘Great Wealth Transfer’

by

With the price of housing approaching to the peaks of the brick bubble and the savings capacity of households seriously limitedyounger Spaniards are opting for a key key to becoming owners of their own home: donations from parents to children. They show it clearly the latest data of the General Council of Notaries (CGN), which reflect that intergenerational transmissions of homes have skyrocketed in Spain. And it doesn’t look like the trend is going to stop. What has happened? That donations and inheritances are gaining weight in the Spanish real estate market. Nothing surprising if we take into account the aging of the country, the increase in housing prices and the difficulties with which (even despite the cheaper credit) are the youngest when they consider buying a house. In other words: the elderly choose to come to the aid of their children, nephews or grandchildren to clear their access to real estate agencies. It is not a new phenomenon (we have been talking about it for a long time). the ‘great transfer’ intergenerational wealth), but that does not stop it from being striking. Especially when data is published that helps to dimension it, something that the General Council of Notaries has just done in a report in which he reveals that housing donations have skyrocketed in recent years in our country. So much so that in his opinion they are already (along with inheritances) key levers for access to housing. Have they grown that much? The data from the General Council of Notaries (CGN) are clear. According to its latest sector report, in 2024, 54,735 homes were donated in Spain, 68% more than in 2017. In fact, if the series of the last eight years is analyzed, 2024 was the second largest record, only surpassed by 2021. And the trend seems to continue in 2025. During the first half of the year the group registered around 27,000 donated homes. In parallel, the number of house inheritances remains more or less stable. In 2024, 403,854 were counted, a very similar figure (with slight fluctuations) to that of recent years. Are they important figures? Yes. And it is better understood when put in the context of the real estate market, something that the notary school itself does. “The number of inherited homes in 2024 and the number of donated homes would together be equivalent to 64% of the home purchase and sale operations registered in that same year,” points out the CGNwhich emphasizes the drift of donations. “The number of inherited homes has remained fairly stable, while the number of donated homes almost doubled between 2017 and 2024.” Not only that. The notaries also emphasize that the stability in the flow of inheritances and the resounding increase in donations contrasts with a more oscillating pace of purchases and sales. And that general framework does not seem to be changing in the short term. “The most recent data for the first half of 2025 show that in this period 202,923 homes have been inherited and 26,923 donated. These two figures together would correspond to 60% of the number of sales between January and June of this year (380,144).” remember the General Council. How do notaries value it? The group does not limit itself to presenting figures. It also slips in the occasional interpretation that points in a clear direction: given the progressive rise in housing prices and the low saving capacity of young people, “intergenerational property transmissions” have been gaining weight. “In this framework, donations and inheritances are consolidated as instruments of access to housing and family redistribution of resources, and here the group of people over 65 years of age takes center stage,” reflects the CGN. After recalling that in general acts related to donations have skyrocketed by 127% between 2017 and 2024, the notaries explain that the growth is largely explained by donors between 55 and over 65 years old. “Inheritances and especially donations seem to show signs of becoming a key access channel for younger generations,” apostille. “Population aging predicts great wealth transmission in the coming decades, whether through donations or inheritances.” Is housing only donated/inherited? No. The notarial report reflects a general increase in donations, not just those involving houses. And that is an important nuance. As was already advancing in February The Countrythe volume of transmissions reached a record last year and a large part of them focused on cash, money that goes from the pockets of mothers and fathers to that of their children to make it easier for them to pay for a home or pay for a mortgage. “There is everything, from donations of 10,000 euros to others of 300,000, but the most common thing is to find figures close to 30,000 or 40,000, which can be used to pay for the entrance fee,” explained María Teresa Barea, spokesperson for the CGN. “We see that those parents who have some liquidity available donate part of the money to their children for the purchase or down payment of the house, but also to start a business.” Are there more factors? Yes. The increase in donations is explained by the increase in the price of residential m2 (it has shot up 15.3% in the last year according to Idealista), the low savings capacity of young people and the difficulties in accessing the real estate market; But another key factor also influences: taxation. In fact CGN data show variations between regions in the total number of homes donated that are not explained by population differences.

Saudi Arabia has insisted on connecting its two seas by train. And to achieve this it has been placed in the hands of a Spanish company

by

Saudi Arabia has launched one of the most ambitious railway projects in the Middle East: the “Landbridge” or “Land Bridge”, a $7 billion high-speed network that will connect the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf. The infrastructure will link Jeddah to Dammam via Riyadh, covering nearly 1,500 kilometers with the aim of completely transforming transport and commerce in the Arabian Peninsula. A strategic corridor for goods and passengers. The project will reduce travel time between Riyadh and Jeddah from around 12 hours by car to less than 4 hours by train. But the goal is for the project to go beyond just transporting passengers, as it is also designed to turn the kingdom into a key logistics hub in the region, connecting large industrial ports such as King Abdullah Port and Yanbu with urban centers and airports. According to Saudi authoritiesthe Landbridge could generate savings of $4.2 billion annually in transportation costs and create up to 200,000 jobs in related sectors. Vision 2030. This megaproject is a centerpiece of Vision 2030the strategic plan with which Saudi Arabia seeks to diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on oil. The Saudi Railways (SAR) company intends to expand the country’s railway network from the current 5,300 kilometers up to more than 8,000. As part of this modernization, SAR has ordered 15 new trains capable of reaching speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour and even hydrogen-powered models. Spanish participation in the project. The Landbridge is being developed by the Saudi China Landbridge Consortium, a partnership between Saudi Arabia Railways and China Civil Engineering Construction Company, with local support from Al-Ayuni Contracting. Between the international companies involved The Spanish company Sener stands out, which was selected in December 2023 along with Hill International (USA) and Italferr (Italy) to provide project management services. Firms such as Systra, Thales, WSP and other specialized consulting firms also participate. A project with a long history and new Chinese momentum. Although the Landbridge It was initially announced in 2004 and paused in 2010, gained new momentum after the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2022, when both countries committed to accelerate its execution. Chinese investment in Saudi Arabia has grown significantly: in 2024, the stock of direct investment reached 8.2 billion dollarsup 29% from 2023. China has become the largest source of greenfield investment in the kingdom, with commitments worth $16.8 billion in energy, manufacturing and logistics. Railway enthusiasm. Only in the second quarter of 2025, more than 2.6 million passengers They used Saudi trains, according to Okaz media. After the completion of the Landbridge, Saudi Arabia will have made a qualitative leap in its railway network and logistics capacity, so it remains to be seen how the process ends up developing and if it really ends up being a ‘miracle of the desert’.

It is the canary in the mine of the theater crisis

by

The Spanish box office is in crisis. However, we pack the theaters to see re-releases of classics. Is one of the many contradictions that populate the current theaters, an industry on the tightrope during this season. The re-release of ‘Back to the Future’, if it succeeds at the box office (which it will) will serve to corroborate a series of possible solutions to this seemingly hopeless situation. And without the need for a Delorean. ‘Back to the Future’ returns. The film directed and co-written by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg in 1985 returns to theaters around the world for its 40th anniversary. Marty McFly’s journeys through the (apparently) happy fifties to get his parents to fall in love so he can be conceived retain the same charm as the day it premiered. For this reason, starting October 31, Universal is re-releasing the classic in theaters throughout Spain, which will allow more than one generation of viewers to discover it on the big screen. Why we still like it. First of all, It’s still a perfect adventure: Its alchemical mix of comedy and science fiction is absolutely canonical and has a script taken care of down to the smallest detail, full of nuances that, even after having been revised dozens of times, continue to provide surprises to the viewer. And above all, it is not a film that the film industry has worn out: after the original trilogy, which works compactly as a single narrative, there have been no sequels (more or less) no remakes (nor will there be any as long as their original managers can prevent it). Unlike most hits of the eighties, ‘Back to the Future’ remains untouched in a bubble that, significantly, prevents it from aging. The situation. This re-release arrives in a crisis situation at the Spanish box office. The domination of streaming has led us to a peculiar and paradoxical panorama: we watch more movies than ever, we go to the movies less than ever. According to the Statistical Yearbook According to the SGAE, 60.7% of the Spanish population watches at least one movie a week, while a significant 15% watch it daily. Howeverand here comes the dark side of the issue, in 2024 attendance fell 5% compared to 2023, with 71 million viewers and 477 million euros in income, 2.2% less than the previous year, stagnating at pre-pandemic figures. The platforms have transformed traditional habitsoffering the possibility of watching movies and series on multiple devices (TV, computer, mobile), at any time and place, apart from being much more economical. We need events. These are signs that point to a “crisis of spaces”: people do not want to stop watching movies, but rather turn a visit to the cinema into something special. That is why re-releases of classics and the return to the big screen of all kinds of hits from the past work so well. For example, this past summer we had the 50th anniversary re-release of ‘Shark‘, a film that worked wonderfully at the US box office and also in Spanish. The beautiful nostalgia. Obviously, no matter how much you have managed to escape from fashions and trends of the mainstream of Hollywood and not giving in to sequels or remakes, the re-release of ‘Back to the Future’ is the result of another of the trends that mark the agenda of international cinema: nostalgia. It is thanks to her that these cinema re-releases are working just as well or even better than conventional releases: in 2022 we had the 50th anniversary of ‘The Godfather’in 2018 a restored version of ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, the classic installments of ‘Star Wars’ return again and again to theaters, in the same way that ‘Harry Potter’ or ‘The Lord of the Rings’ do… Good proof that venues need to find new formulas. And perhaps turning to classics and revivals is one that also needs to be reviewed before it, like the rest of the box office, ends up singed.

science believes it has an explanation

by

Walking down the street and seeing someone walking with their eyes downward can make us instantly think that something is happening to that person emotionally, such as being sad. But the reality is that walking down has many meanings and that have been proven through sciencewhich go far beyond the field of psychology and makes us rethink the thoughts we have when we see someone in this situation. The body language. One of the letters of introduction we have to the world is undoubtedly the gestures we make. It is not the same to be with them all the time. crossed arms which may indicate a more closed attitudeto be much more open in front of another person. And the look is another fundamental letter of introduction that we can understand perfectly. What psychology says. The most widespread interpretation of looking down while walking is attributed to the insecurity, shyness, sadness or low self-esteem. It is a fact that avoiding eye contact can seem evasive and, in a society like ours, is often considered a sign of vulnerability or emotional processing. This is something that has been collected in different studies focused on non-verbal communication where they reinforce this idea: the hunched posture, the gaze towards the ground and the absence of eye contact can indicate internal states such as introspection, emotional stress or the need for protection from the environment. However, the field of psychology warns that this overly simple or ‘generalist’ interpretation is inaccurate. To understand it we can go to other cultures such as the Japanese, where looking at the ground is a sign of respect or modesty, or can even be interpreted as a form of concentration or reflection. In this way, the social context, personality and frequency of the gesture make the difference between a ‘good clinical indication’ and perfectly normal behavior. Neuroscience. But beyond psychology, Neuroscience also has a lot to say in this field to thoroughly study why, in many situations, looking down is a very useful strategy. Studies published in journals such as Nature demonstrate That directing your gaze toward the ground helps adjust your balance and reduces the risk of tripping. Within these studies, brain activity and movement patterns have been specifically measured in people walking in different environments. And the conclusion is quite clear: looking down provides the brain with critical information about the terrain and allows you to adjust your step, especially if there are obstacles or the ground is uneven. In this way, if you go in the middle of the field for example, the normal thing is to look down to avoid tripping or ending up on the ground. The same occurs with a work published in 2021 that observed that this position improves stability in older people and also when the cognitive load increases, for example, when we are distracted. Thus, far from being just an emotional symptom, it is also a rational and functional response. facing physical and mental challenges. Mental health. Should every gesture of looking at the ground worry us? The clinical literature clarifies: if the gesture appears in isolation, it does not imply problems. But if it is combined with other signs such as social isolation, apathy or mood changes, it can be part of a picture of depression, anxiety or stress. The problem is that a simple look down the street is not enough to know this, but you must know that person much more. But the evidence is quite clear in this sense: ​there is a relationship between emotions and posture, but it is never a single indicator. Beyond the myth. In this way, every time we see a person with their gaze downcast, we don’t always have to think about the most negative thing, but we don’t always have to think about the most positive thing either. The reality is that if we are walking down a street Looking at the ground serves to avoid obstacles, process information while walking or adopt multitasking strategies (or even if you are lucky to find a ticket).

They have wallpapered an entire neighborhood in Huelva against the gorillas. The posters are signed by “an angry neighbor”

by

Neighbors of the Huelva neighborhood of Nuevo Molino have stood up to the ‘gorrillas’ with a poster campaign throughout the area with a warning: “This street is not an ORA zone. Parking here is free.” Residents claim that this illegal practice is becoming unsustainable in the area, which has led one angry neighbor to post signs freely, according to inform the newspaper Huelva24. A spontaneous protest. A few days ago, during the night of Thursday, October 23, several residents of the Punta Umbría street area went out to put up posters on the busiest streets in the neighborhood, according to point the middle. The messages appeared next to the Quirón Hospital, sports areas, shops and residential portals. Signed by “an angry neighbor”, the notices include direct phrases such as “Don’t be charged when you leave your vehicle”, aimed at both drivers and those who carry out this activity. Some of the signs were also placed directly on the windshields of parked vehicles. What the neighborhood says. Although the initiative has not come directly from the Costa de la Luz Neighborhood Association, from the collective recognize that discontent is widespread. The association has echoed the “popular clamor” that exists in the neighborhood through its social networks, according to point the middle, where residents have shown their support for the protest and demand urgent solutions. The diary inform Furthermore, the matter was already discussed at the last neighborhood assembly, where numerous residents expressed their concern about a problem that they consider entrenched. why now. Although this is a problem that neighbors have been reporting for years, the situation has worsened in recent months. According to residents, the presence of gorillas has intensified especially at the entrances to the park and around the hospital, generating “continuous discussions and fights” that have created a climate of tension in the neighborhood. Neighbors point out that the most affected areas coincide with areas of high influx of people: around the hospital, the sports facilities and the commercial areas of Nuevo Molino. What they denounce. The residents describe the activity as “a form of pressure and coercion towards drivers”, according to they collect the texts of the posters. They report that many users give in to payment for fear of reprisals or simply to avoid conflicts. On the signs, residents remind that parking on the streets of the neighborhood is free and is not subject to any type of time regulation or mandatory payment. What they ask for. The neighbors they claim “real solutions” to the Huelva City Council and the Government Subdelegation. Specifically, they demand a greater police presence in the affected areas and the implementation of specific social measures aimed at people who practice this practice, to “be able to live cordially.” The neighborhood association does not rule out promoting other actions or proposals immediately if the situation persists without an institutional response.

They used dark patterns to make users pay more

by

At the end of last year Microsoft made a risky move: integrate Copilot within Microsoft 365 and raise the price of the subscription without the option to deactivate it. What we saw at the time as a desperate attempt to attract more users for Copilot has ended up in court. Australia has sued them for allegedly deceiving 2.7 million users. what has happened. They count in Reuters that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has sued Microsoft. It maintains that the company misled its users into believing that they had to accept the price increase for Microsoft 365 with Copilot. Microsoft presented the change as something mandatory: either you accept the price increase or you unsubscribe. However, there was a third option that only appeared when you tried to unsubscribe and allowed you to maintain the original plan without Copilot. Imposition. It happened in 2024 in Australia and other Southeast Asian countries. Microsoft 365 subscribers suddenly found that Microsoft had integrated Copilot. Everything was fine except that it wasn’t free. The personal plan had an increase of 45%, while the family plan increased 29%. The problem is that Microsoft did not inform that it was possible to stay with the classic plan (without Copilot). This option only appeared if you tried to unsubscribe, so many users accepted it without knowing that this option existed. Consequences. The Australian commission says that Microsoft violated the consumer protection law and demands “penalties, consumer compensation, injunctions and costs.” The maximum fine you could face is 50 million Australian dollars, which would be triple the profit obtained. If profits cannot be determined, it would be 30% of the turnover during the infringement period. Dark patterns. They are manipulation techniques that websites and apps use so that users end up making decisions that benefit the company behind them. a couple of years ago In Spain, a marketing company was fined for using dark patterns to give up more personal data. We also find it in websites like Ryanair or Booking that bombard us to take out insurance or book that hotel because availability is running out. AI doesn’t pay for itself. Microsoft’s move highlights the problem of the AI ​​industry: the investment is hugebut the return is very small. Subscriptions are a way to make your investment profitable and now are the norm in AI tools, some even cost 200 dollars or more. Microsoft is having a difficult time standing out in an increasingly competitive environment, but its attempt to gain users for Copilot without being transparent has ended up backfiring.

Everyone is developing chips that compete with NVIDIA’s. They are in the wrong race

by

Qualcomm advertisement on Monday that it is working on AI accelerator chips, which means there will be new competition for NVIDIA. The company that dominates the AI ​​hardware landscape is seeing a large group of competitors try to erode that position, but the problem for all of these companies is not the chips, but something else. A CUDA call. what has happened. Qualcomm has announced the AI200 chip, which will begin selling in 2026, and the AI250, which will do so in 2027. Both will be able to work in rack-type systems that have liquid cooling. Qualcomm servers may have up to 72 chips based on the Hexagon NPUs of the company’s Snapdragon SoCs. Inference yes, training no. The company has revealed that its chips focus on inference (the execution of AI models) and not training. Their rack-based systems will have lower operating costs than cloud system providers, Qualcomm says. Each rack consumes 160 kW, a figure comparable to the consumption of some racks based on NVIDIA GPUs. There are no details about the price of these chips, the cards or the racks that will integrate them, nor about how many NPUs can be offered in each rack. What we do know is that Qualcomm’s accelerator cards will support up to 768 GB of memory, more than what NVIDIA or AMD offer in their current models. according to CNBC. Chips for third parties. The other important point is that Qualcomm will sell its AI chips and other components separately, allowing large AI companies to “customize” their own racks based on Qualcomm chips. It is an identical philosophy to the one they have adopted in the world of their mobile SoCs. Investors viewed the news with exceptional optimism, and Qualcomm shares rose 11% in Monday’s session. NVIDIA dominates with an iron fist. In the AI ​​chip segment, the king is NVIDIA. The company is the absolute protagonist of this market and according to CNBC it maintains a 90% market share, which has allowed it to skyrocket its valuation to 4.5 trillion dollars. That dominance could now be threatened by the avalanche of chips that are arriving from various manufacturers. All against NVIDIA. AMD has its excellent Instinct, Google has your TPUsAmazon their TrainiumMicrosoft their Maia and Huawei has your Ascend. All of them make really striking proposals for NVIDIA chips, and little by little these solutions are being integrated into more and more data centers. But the real problem is not in the hardware, but in the software. The great challenge is to defeat CUDA. The de facto standard in the AI ​​industry that developers use It’s CUDAa platform that allows you to take full advantage of the capabilities of NVIDIA chips in the field of artificial intelligence. This hardware+software combination is much more mature than that of its competitors, who have the hardware part resolved (or are on the right track) but do not have a platform comparable to CUDA. AMD has ROCmwhich is especially interesting because it is Open Source, but at the moment its features still do not reach those of CUDA. Reinvent the wheel? CUDA has been on the market for almost two decades, which means that the majority of academic research and pioneering models—such as ImageNet—were written for CUDA. It is not a language, it is a vast collection of libraries, optimized frameworks (like cuDNN), debugging tools and a huge community. Developing a competitor is basically like reinventing the wheel, and migrations are expensive and companies and startups will not have an easy time assuming it. China is also in the fight. And of course, if there is another great protagonist in this race, it is China. The Asian giant, previously dependent on NVIDIA, is seeking to get rid of this manufacturer, and along with the development of advanced AI chips they are also trying to have its own AI software to surpass CUDA.
