Explore the Dyson 360 heurist™ robot vacuum

Intelligent SLAM vision system

Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) technology means the robot always knows where it is in the room.

Fresnel lens technology

The long-range ‘time of flight’ sensors use a lens similar to those found in a lighthouse. Fresnel lens technology uses a flat sheet with facets in the surface, rather than a big, chunky spherical lens, to create the same optical properties as a bigger lens. It changes the cone angle from 25° to around 4° giving the system directionality so the robot can see up to two metres in all directions. 

Hemispheric lens

The fisheye lens has six elements, allowing it to see 360° and accurately interpret its surroundings. 

The eight LEDs, divided into octants, work in tandem with the SLAM navigation module. When it detects low light, the octant in the direction of the low light responds to maintain navigational accuracy. The LEDs pump light into field of view of the camera. Mirrors around the light help to focus the robot’s sensors, in a similar way to headlights on high-end sports cars.

Camera mount

Made from aircraft-grade aluminium, to withstand a load of 60kg. 

Time-of-flight sensors

A total of eight sensors help the robot see a four-metre diameter around it.  There are two obstacle sensors at the front, two drop sensors, two wall sensors, and two long-distance sensors.

Dyson Radial Root Cyclone™ technology

Based on our full-size and cord-free vacuum technology, centrifugal forces inside the cyclones create up to 70,000g to spin dirt out of the air. So more is captured in the bin.

Dyson digital motor V2

Cleans wherever it goes

Full-width brush bar

High rotation speed

Carbon fibre filaments

Anti-static strips containing 2,190,330 carbon fibre filaments to pick up fine dust from hard floors.

Stiff nylon bristles

The brush bar has 6,947 stiff nylon bristles to drive deeper into the carpet to optimise dirt pick-up. Bristles are 100% stiffer than our previous robot vacuum.
