- Photo shows ‘Dji Romo’ product box on shipping pallet
- Rumors suggest that Romo will combine vacuum and mop functions plus the avoidance of pets
- It would be DJI’s first vacuum – but the company has shown the will to enter new market sectors recently
It seems that the rumored DJI Romo, a robot vacuum with integrated mop, is not only real, but moves closer to the launch.
A photograph tweeted by China-based Drone Leaker OsitalV shows what seems to be a shipment of six boxed Romo vacuum cleaners on a pallet and ready for shipping, suggesting the product could be ready to sell very soon.

We first heard rumbles about Romo back in November 2024, when a leaked image is alleged to show the robot’s design. Even if this image was real, however, it was not clear at the time whether the product was only in prototype form or intended for a true world release. It now seems likely that it is very much a real product that comes to the stores.
DJI has never confirmed the existence of Romo. However, the first speculation suggested that Romo would combine vacuum and mop features and include features such as individual space controls and pet detection.
Recently, other leaked images of what seems to be Romo’s companion app suggest that it will match the best robot wacuum with features such as automatically self-emptying and powerful obstacles (which is something DJI’s drones are known for).
While Romo’s release would represent DJI’s first step into the robotic quacuum market, we think it is very plausible that the Chinese company would take a step into this market sector.
Why a robot wacuum?
DJI is best known for its aerial photography drones (such as the new Mavic 4 Pro), action cameras and smartphone gimbals. But its skills in automated movement, obstacle of obstacle and battery technology make it well positioned to produce a self -governing domestic robot. It has even made a earth-based educational robot in the past: The 2019-free RoboMaster S1.
Diversification of its product lineup could prove a rabbit strategy for DJI, considering that its drone business appears to be threatened-in the US because of the chaotic customs plans of the Trump administration and general American legislative hostility to Chinese-made drones. The Mavic 4 Pro has not even been launched in the United States, for example, despite the fact that it is DJI’s new flagship camera drone.
The robot vacuum market could also be mature for disturbance without any clear dominant producer in place. For example, check out our best robotic wacuum guide and you will find that it contains a wide mix of brands, each with different strengths.
