The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra represents a significant advancement in pool cleaning technology, combining AI-powered navigation with multifunctional cleaning capabilities. This smart pool cleaner automates the tedious aspects of pool maintenance through sophisticated sensors, mapping technology, and mobile connectivity—addressing a common pain point for pool owners while showcasing how artificial intelligence is transforming even traditional household maintenance tasks.

1. Comprehensive 5-in-1 Cleaning System

  • The AquaSense 2 Ultra employs a proprietary system that combines clarification (removing small particles), wall and floor cleaning, waterline maintenance, and floating debris collection in a single device.
  • The cleaner automatically adjusts to different pool surfaces including concrete, ceramic, vinyl, and fiberglass, making it versatile for various pool types.

2. AI-Powered Navigation Technology

  • Equipped with an AI camera, four ultrasonic sensors, and two infrared sensors, the device creates detailed maps of pools regardless of shape or size.
  • The HybridSense AI mapping technology determines optimal cleaning paths while avoiding obstacles, and the 4-core 1.8GHz CPU enables smart detection of missed debris during operation.

3. Remote Control via Mobile App

  • The Beatbot app provides real-time control over the cleaner’s speed and direction, allowing users to target specific trouble spots without physical intervention.
  • A one-touch return function enables users to recall the device whenever needed, creating seamless integration between pool maintenance and leisure time.

4. Extended Battery Life and Self-Draining Design

  • The 13,400 mAh battery delivers up to 10 hours of continuous operation, capable of cleaning nearly 3,875 square feet on a single charge.
  • When battery levels drop, the device automatically returns to the pool edge and positions itself above water, while SmartDrain technology expels water to reduce weight for easier removal.

5. Voice Communication Features

  • An external speaker allows the AquaSense 2 Ultra to verbally communicate system updates, charging status, and cleaning progress.
  • This hands-free information delivery enhances the user experience by eliminating the need to check on the device regularly.
