- The photo shows a “dji romo” product in a box on the shipping pallet
- Rumors suggest that Romo will combine the functions of vacuum and mop, as well as animal avoidance
- It would be DJI’s first emptiness – but the company has shown the desire to recently enter new market sectors
It seems that the DJI Romo, an emptiness of the robot with integrated MOP, is not only real but is close to the launch.
A photograph tweeted by Drone Leaker, based in China, Ositalv shows what seems to be an expedition of six Romo vacuums in a box on a palette and ready to be shipped, which suggests that the product could be ready to be sold very soon.

For the first time, we heard rumors on the Romo in November 2024, where a disclosed image claimed to show the conception of the robot. However, even if this image was real, it was not clear at the time if the product was simply in prototype form or intended for a real version. It now seems likely that it is really a real product, coming to stores imminently.
Dji has never confirmed the existence of Romo. However, initial speculation suggested that Romo would combine the functions of vacuum and MOP, and include features such as individual room controls and pet detection.
More recently, other images disclosed what seems to be the Romo Companion application, suggests that this will correspond to the best robot vacuum cleaners with features such as automatic self-employment and a powerful avoidance of obstacles (which DJI drones are known).
Although Romo’s release would represent DJI’s first foray into the robot vacuum cleaner market, we think it is very plausible that Chinese society moves to this market sector.
Why a vacuum of the robot?
DJI is best known for its aerial photography drones (such as the new Mavic 4 Pro), its action cameras and its smartphones. But its control of automated movement, obstacle avoidance and battery technology makes it well positioned to produce an autonomous domestic robot. He even made an educational robot on the ground in the past: the Robomaster S1, published in 2019.
The diversification of its range of products could be a clever strategy for DJI, since its drone activity seems to be threatened – in the United States, at least – due to the chaotic tariffs of the Trump administration and the general regulatory hostility of the United States towards Chinese manufacturing drones. The Mavic 4 Pro was not even launched in the United States, for example, although it is the new Dji flagship camera drone.
The robot vacuum cleaner market could also be ripe for disturbances, without any clear dominant manufacturer in place. Discover our best robot vacuum guide, for example, and you will see that it contains a wide mixture of brands, each with variable forces.
