About LegeeD7 Vacuum Mop Robot
LegeeD7 is a floor cleaning robot that vacuums and mops. The D shaped body combines a front suction inlet, a brushroll, an automatic spraying system and automatic mopping recognition. The front suction sits ahead of the brushroll and picks up hair before the hair can tangle. The mopping pad presses the floor with 600 g of force and lifts 6 mm when a carpet is detected. A mobile application allows each room to be planned with eight cleaning modes, a curtain zone, climbing control and a customizable voice prompt.
Hobot Technology Inc.'s LegeeD7 Vacuum Mop Robot emerges as a distinguished exemplar of contemporary domestic technology design, wherein functional engineering requirements harmonize with sophisticated aesthetic sensibilities to produce an object that transcends mere utilitarian purpose. The work participates in the broader design tradition that seeks to elevate household implements from hidden necessities to celebrated participants in the domestic environment, following trajectories established by mid-century modern designers who believed that everyday objects merit careful formal consideration. The distinctive D-shaped silhouette represents a thoughtful resolution of competing demands, where the curved posterior accommodates the mechanical necessities of navigation and suction while the flattened frontal edge addresses the persistent challenge of wall and corner cleaning that circular forms inherently compromise. The radial textured surface treatment proves particularly noteworthy, transforming what might otherwise read as a featureless expanse into a visually engaging composition that catches and modulates ambient light throughout daily operation. This attention to surface articulation suggests awareness that the device will occupy visible floor space during charging and rest periods, thus requiring visual interest beyond pure functionality. The chromatic strategy demonstrates considerable refinement, with the warm rose-gold accent ring providing just sufficient contrast against the white field to establish brand distinction without disrupting the pristine cleanliness associations the overall palette establishes. The translucent band revealing internal components represents a confident design choice, inviting users into partial understanding of the technological sophistication within while maintaining appropriate mystery. One might consider how this object mediates between the desire for invisible domestic labor and the contemporary valorization of technological presence within living spaces.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- The D shaped LegeeD7 combines the front suction, brushroll, auto spraying system and auto recognization mopping in one. The front suction located before the brushroll prohibits the brushroll from tangling the hair; the auto lifting mop can lift above the floor for 6mm when cleaning the carpet. LegeeD7 provides tailor fit experiences simply via the App, users can plan a cleaning journey of any room with 8 cleaning modes, curtain zone, climbing control zone, and customizable voice prompt.

- Design Challenge
- The main goal is to integrate the front suction, rubber brush, auto spraying and wet mopping in a perfect sequence. It takes a lot of effort to make the space for the front suction mouth ahead of the brushroll to avoid hair tangling. Another challenge is to distinguish the carpet on the floor to let the mopping pad automatically lift up, and remove the stains with 600g force when cleaning the hard floor. Finally, the App is crafted to accommodate all the features and provide convenience in use.
- Project Duration
- This project started in 2020 in Taiwan and will launch in the first half of 2022.
- Operation Flow
- LegeeD7 fits all terrains thanks to the slam navigation and 20mm obstacle crossing ability. It grabs the hair by a front suction and a deep cleaning brushroll, and the heavy wet mop followed for a complete clean.
Customize the task with 8 cleaning modes, virtual barrier, curtain zone, and climbing control to tackle various types of mess in different rooms and simply connect the App via wifi or Hotspot, the squeaky clean floor is just a few taps away, or a short command to Siri or Ok Google. - Research
- The tangled hair, sticky stains, and complex environment are the common challenges that general floor cleaning robots encounter.
LegeeD7 provides great solutions: the front suction greatly avoids to tangling hair, the brushroll removes the hidden dirt from the carpet and ground, and the mopping pad applies 600g force against the floor to remove the sticky stains while raises above the ground for 6mm automatically when cleaning the carpet or climbing over the thresholds and the transition bar. - Inspiration
- Given that the general robot vacuum cleaner cannot remove the stain entirely and the brushroll is always tangling hair, the complex maintenance after use is not so pleasant, LegeeD7 is therefore designed with a front suction to pick up the hair and lightweight dust ahead of time to avoid the brushroll tangling; the auto recognition mopping avoids the wet mopping pad to touch the carpet. Moreover, equipped with the adjustable ability of 20mm obstacle climbing, LegeeD7 can run on all terrain.
