why can't our robot vacuums?

why are families forced to buy disc robot that get obsolete 3 months later with a new flagship?

your hardware should age like wine, not milk.

158 releases. same matic hw
yet the @maticrobots you bought today is not the robot you'll have tomorrow

[Whole Mars Catalog @wholemars]

My vacuum cleaner just got a software update

[Shon 📐 NowTeslafy @nowteslafy]

One of the coolest features @maticrobots has is sink-summon: when it’s out of water for mopping, one tap and it drives itself to your sink for a quick refill. Can’t do that with a stationary base-station!

🚀 Stable v160 just rolled out!
Same Matic. Way smarter. That's the deal.

💧 Fresher Mop Roll
Matic now gently spins the mop roll to help it dry out and reduce mop roller jams.

Try it out and tell us what you think 👇

😊🙃 @maticrobots is the first time any non-coders experience AI

you can't help but feel it when you see it move around obstacles live in actual chaos of "lived" homes

All day I tell Claude Code what to do and magic comes back. My wife will feel that when ai robot's arrive. "Put away all the toys in the living room but leave the Lego project because Sadie's not done. Check Kane's toilet/floor for pee marks 3 times a day on weekends. Fold the laundry but separate Adar's stuff because she wants to pick her own outfits. Clean only the baby's area after each meal. Make no mistakes."

It's election season in the US 🇺🇸, and we've added a bunch of goodies to @particle_news for iOS to help you keep track of what's going on.

1. See interesting, focused feeds, like Top Global News, NBA Playoffs. Follow them to pin them as swipeable feeds on your home screen.

2. A new, redesigned Browse tab (previously Explore). See curated feeds from our editors, and access quick shortcuts to the entities you follow.

3. Dedicated Election Feeds, for major races in the country and in your state, pinned to the top of the For You tab, and wider state coverage available in Browse. You can follow these feeds to pin them to the top too!

4. We're experimenting with ads within Particle on iOS, partnering with @koahlabs. Plus subscribers won't see them.

We'd love to hear from you! Let us know what you think.

@wattreach @nowteslafy @maticrobots Our simple rule is that if customers win, we win. And we don’t learn how to help customers win if we don’t talk to them even the future ones. That starts with me and my partner @navneetdalal the brains behind Matic and CEO. :-)

Hi Joseph, you got to buy what your needs are but let me just clarify a few things.

it would go under anything taller than 10”. For space underneath the kitchen cabinets, very low couches, the cleaning head is just 2.5” tall and gets inside head first.

We chose taller size because it’s a higher toddler like vantage point to see the floors. Higher camera position allows robot to see like humans at 45 degree angle to the floor and doesn’t get dirty. The flat bots are great for low furniture but the ant-like vantage point is why after 25 years they still can’t dodge wires. So, the trade-off is also intelligence.

In addition, We wanted to solve problems that disc robots struggle with:

***Disc robots struggle with thresholds or shag rugs or thick pile rugs -- for that big wheels of matic help. 
***Actuated cleaning head adjusts to different thickness of the rugs and dynamically changes suction/brush roll speed to clean rugs that even manual vacuums cannot clean.
***Designed to deal with pet hair in a way that it doesn't get clogged and don't have to flip the robot and cut hair - so easily accessible brush roll.
***Cleaning head is littler over 2" tall so it can easily fit under space below kitchen cabines and visible dirt under the couches and furniture. Those don't get dirty as frequently as visible area.
***And one the things we cared about and have heard from any customers is that it doesn't scare pets and kids.
***as mentioned above, higher vantage point of cameras (instead ant-like vantage point of disc robots) allows us to see floors the same way we do at 45 degree angle -- this means it can truly see what obstacles are and avoid it. No more wire chewing.

We talked to many users and felt that cleaning obviously accessible area thoroughly, effectively, w/o needing to babysit around obstacles was a far bigger use case for families with kids and pets than cleaning underneath the furniture.

That resonated because as a pet owner and father of 3 kids, our primary need wasn't under the furniture. That can be cleaned once a month as a deep clean. We wanted something that would clean day to day messes, hair of my golden retriever, cookie crumbs, kitchen, etc., constantly w/o needing supervision. We wanted something that would clean our thick shag rugs and go over them (which disc robots cannot). So we prioritized the needed for families like us. And when we talked to customers, we found that many felt the same way.

Hope that helps.

@Matt_Felgate @maticrobots Yes. Of course. :-)

[Mehul @mehul]

indeed!

@sanyatimar Would be cool. :-)

enjoying 🌅☀️ sun after long day of cleaning!

@KatieMiller @MilMileBattery @maticrobots Katie. We looked at the log. Your bathroom stick is genuinely a SLAM bug. We are working on a fix now and will ship it asap.

[Mehul @mehul]

@KatieMiller @MilMileBattery @maticrobots Looking into logs Katie. Trying to figure out what’s going on. Thanks!

Tate, matic vacuums first and mops second. It only mops if you select you want it to mop. You can just ask it vacuum and it will do just that.

For mopping, it can’t really detect or
Tell visually that it’s natural wood with light wax, so we will be shipping a toggle that allows you to select low water settings. However, we always recommend that you follow wood manufacturer’s guidelines.

This means matic doesn’t really know if the low water settings is low enough for your wood. You’d have to be the ultimate judge of it as Matic is intelligent but not human intelligent.

None of the robots will be for a long time. Thanks! 🙏🏽

What are you doing today instead of cleaning? 🛋️

[Matic Robots @maticrobots]

Sunday reset, without the Sunday chore! ✨

Matic mops and vacuums while you do literally anything else.

What are you doing today instead of cleaning? 🛋️

[Mehul @mehul]

@cambaughn Hopefully soon! :-)

[Mehul @mehul]

@Michael_L_Rauch @wattreach @tonipepperoni77 @nowteslafy @maticrobots 🙏🏽👊

[Mehul @mehul]

@AnthonyDo @maticrobots Yep. That’s why we said robot vacuum. 😊

[Mehul @mehul]

@BodhiHawken @maticrobots Best is to get a friend to bring it. Otherwise we have seen some use easy ship or shipito but we don’t officially work with them.

[Mehul @mehul]

@SomeUKTeslaGuy @maticrobots Oh you show it once on a map.
