Exceptional Sensing Power and Sensational Cleaning Performance
SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technology, today launches ROMO, a series of advanced robot vacuums in Korea. Featuring millimeter-level obstacle sensing technology, utilized from DJI's flagship drones, the advanced sensors, smart algorithms, and ultra-strong suction combine to provide truly hassle-free, ultimate coverage on both hard surface floors and carpets with powerful cleaning performance. Furthermore, its intelligent self-cleaning system takes care of maintenance automatically, freeing the user to enjoy a clean home with minimal effort. The premium model, ROMO P, also has transparent panels on both the base station and robot, displaying the meticulously organized components that reflect precision engineering.
Millimeter-Level Obstacle Sensing That Even Dodges Playing Cards
ROMO features an advanced obstacle sensing system with high-performance dual fisheye vision sensors and wide-angle dual-transmitter solid-state LiDARs, leveraging technology derived from DJI's flagship drones. Coupled with machine learning this enables ROMO to recognize and avoid household obstacles such as 2mm thick charging cables or even playing cards. By combining input from multiple sensors, a deep environmental awareness is generated enabling navigation under beds or sofas in low light. Intelligent paths are also planned around every obstacle, even irregular shaped cabinets with ROMO's wide field of view that helps to avoid blind-spots.
Complete Coverage, From Open Floors to Tight Edges
Refined through DJI's extensive drone mapping and navigation, ROMO's path planning algorithms create smarter cleaning routes for efficient coverage throughout the home. The device automatically adapts its cleaning strategy to different obstacles. It gets in close to wires, table legs, and corners for a thorough clean with no missed spots, while steering clear of items like socks or liquid to avoid getting stuck or creating a mess.
Guided by real-time mapping and adaptive edge algorithms, ROMO's dual flexible arms automatically extend and retract to fit any space. They can reach deep into corners and along edges, removing dust from hard‑to‑reach areas such as under cabinets, around furniture legs, and along irregular walls. With sweeping coverage wider than the mop path, it prevents dirt from spreading by always sweeping before mopping.
Self‑Cleaning Base Station, 200‑Day Maintenance‑Free
The base station's washboard features a neat design that prevents dirt buildup and makes cleaning easier. Equipped with four high-pressure water jets, a 16mm large-diameter waste outlet, and 12 newtons of downward force on the mop pads, it thoroughly washes and flushes away debris through the large suction port, ensuring up to 200 days of maintenance-free operation.
The base station also features a 3-stage sound suppression system with long muffler ducts and chambers, filtering up to 80% of noise during dust collection so cleaning won't disturb family or pets.
Flagship Power for a Clean Sweep
With a high-performance motor and optimized airflow design ROMO delivers up to 25,000 Pascals of powerful suction and up to 20 liters of airflow per second. Additionally, ROMO automatically decreases its speed and side brush rotation to prevent scatter when debris such as cat litter is detected by the vision sensors.
Effortless Long Hair Pickup
Driven by twin high‑torque motors, ROMO's roller brushes deliver powerful performance to sweep debris into a hollow center for efficient suction. Hair, dust, and large particles are all easily removed for hassle‑free cleaning.
Realtime Extendable/Retractable Arms
Guided by real-time mapping and adaptive edge algorithms, ROMO's dual flexible arms automatically extend and retract to fit any space. They can reach deep into corners and along edges, removing dust from hard-to-reach areas such as under cabinets and large appliances, around table and chair legs or along irregular-shaped walls and furniture, to name a few.
With sweeping coverage wider than the mop path, ROMO prevents dirt from spreading by always sweeping before mopping.
Water Carried On-Board
When cleaning large rooms, ROMO's large 164ml on-board water tank keeps mop pads consistently damp, effectively preventing areas later in the mopping cycle from being inadequately mopped due to dried-out pads. ROMO also automatically adjusts water output, increasing it for stubborn dirt to leave every part of the home cleaner.
Tackle Kitchen Grease or Make the Home Smell Sweeter, Quietly
ROMO P features an additional compartment for floor deodorizer alongside the standard cleaning solution, and can dispense cleaning solution or floor deodorizer directly onto the mop pads. Cleaning routines can be customized to use cleaning solution to tackle kitchen grease, or apply floor deodorizer for deep whole-home cleaning, effortlessly meeting the different needs of every space in the home. A noise reduction chamber on ROMO effectively lowers airflow noise to deliver a thorough yet quiet clean without disturbing those around.
Bringing Intelligence to Every Corner of the Home
Deeply integrated with ROMO Series, the DJI Home app features an elegant, minimalist interface for effortless control. It comes with multiple preset smart cleaning modes, and also supports customizable cleaning plans with one‑tap quick start. Advance alerts are even provided when the clean water tank is low or the dirty water tank is full, making planning ahead for a seamless cleaning experience easy. Customizable cleaning modes include:
- Smart Carpet cleaning: Accurately identifies the size and location of carpets, updating them on the map.
- Intelligent Threshold Recognition: Cleans right along the edges of thresholds while avoiding frequent crossing.
- Customized Kitchen and Bathroom Cleaning: ROMO offers a customizable cleaning mode that applies cleaning solution directly to the mop pads to tackle tough kitchen grease. Additionally, it returns to the base station to wash the mop pads specifically after cleaning areas like the kitchen and bathroom, preventing cross‑contamination.
- Worry-Free Pet Area Cleaning: In pet areas, ROMO reduces its travel and side brush speed to avoid scattering debris, while boosting suction to thoroughly clean up pet fur.
The robot's onboard sensors can be used to remotely check in on the home, talk with family, or interact with pets. To protect privacy, camera access requires two‑factor authentication for first‑time use, video data is encrypted during transmission, and the video function can be completely disabled when not in use.
When it comes to charging the device, ROMO supports 55W fast charging, reaching a full charge in just 2.5 hours.

- Increases frequencies across ASEAN, South Asia, Australia and New Zealand and Europe to further strengthen global connectivity
SINGAPORE, April 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Malaysia Airlines is significantly expanding its East Asia footprint with the return of direct flights to Fukuoka, Japan, and the launch of new services to Shenzhen and Changsha, China. Commencing between July and September 2026, these additions bring the airline's China network to nine key gateways and reinforce its commitment to providing greater travel flexibility across the region.
As part of this expansion, the airline will introduce new services between Kuala Lumpur and Shenzhen (SZX) and Changsha (CSX) in China, alongside the resumption of services to Fukuoka (FUK) in Japan, which the airline last operated in September 2006. With the launch of these destinations, Malaysia Airlines consolidates its presence across a total of nine strategic destinations in China, including Beijing (PKX), Shanghai (PVG), Guangzhou (CAN), Xiamen (XMN), Hong Kong (HKG), Taipei (TPE), and Chengdu Tianfu (TFU). Ticket sales for the new services commence today, supporting the growing travel demand and strengthening connectivity between Malaysia and these high-growth regional hubs.
Captain Nasaruddin A. Bakar, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said, "This expansion reflects our strategic focus on scaling our presence in key growth markets across East Asia while cementing Kuala Lumpur's position as a key strategic gateway. Both Shenzhen and Changsha align perfectly with our network strategy, driven by robust demand across both business and leisure segments. The return to Fukuoka further enhances our network depth. As the only carrier operating direct flights on this route, we are proud to offer passengers a seamless non-stop experience that eliminates the need for transit. These developments demonstrate our ongoing commitment to optimising our network and delivering a more integrated travel experience for our customers."
Beyond the East Asia expansion, Malaysia Airlines is increasing flight frequencies across key routes namely Brisbane, Australia; Manila, Philippines and Colombo, Sri Lanka to meet rising demand while supporting growing tourism and trade links. In addition, the airline will operate ad-hoc Kuala Lumpur–London flights on 18 and 22 April 2026 to accommodate passengers affected by recent Middle Eastern carrier disruptions.
As the returning Official Airline Partner and Premier Sponsor of MATTA Fair 2026, MAG unveiled its most ambitious presence yet with the launch of the MAG Arena, recognised by both the Asia Records and ASEAN Records as Asia's Largest Airline Trade Pavilion at a consumer travel fair.
Spanning approximately 46,000 square feet, nearly three times the scale of its participation in September last year, the expanded pavilion transforms the MATTA Fair experience into a fully immersive destination showcasing curated experiences and next-generation travel technology that brings journeys to life before travellers even board the aircraft. Visitors will be able to explore destinations, discover travel innovations and experience the warmth of Malaysian Hospitality through interactive engagements designed to inspire their next journey.
In addition, the pavilion will host Asia's largest sports partnership activation by an airline, celebrating Malaysia Airlines' collaborations with global clubs like Manchester United and national sporting icons Datuk Azizulhasni Awang and others. The dedicated sports experience zone will allow football fans and travellers to engage with legends and their favourite sports personalities — reinforcing how sport and travel connect people across borders and generations.
Through the expansion of its network and increased flight frequencies, the airline continues to strengthen Kuala Lumpur's position as a key gateway to Asia and beyond, while supporting Malaysia's tourism ambitions under Visit Malaysia 2026 and advancing its journey towards becoming one of the world's Top 10 global airlines by 2030.
