Robotic Pool Cleaner Solution — Underwater Robot PCBA & Firmware
SOLUTION DEFINITIONA robotic pool cleaner solution integrates BLDC motor drives, gyro-based inertial navigation, pump control and water-ingress monitoring into a complete underwater robot controller, supporting both tethered and cordless app-controlled models for residential and commercial pools.
Pain Points We Solve
- The pool robot category is exploding (vacuum giants entering), but full in-house development takes too long
- Underwater sealing and leak detection are safety red lines — a mistake means batch after-sales disasters
- Coverage-path algorithms (S-pattern, wall climbing) require real accumulated know-how
- Cordless models combine high-current drive, long runtime and underwater comms — high system complexity
Key Features
BLDC FOC DrivesDual track/wheel BLDC + pump motor with FOC, +25% efficiency
Inertial Navigation6-axis IMU + odometry S-pattern coverage with wall/edge climbing strategy
Leak-safe DesignMulti-point ingress detection with thermal guard; auto surface return on fault
Wired & CordlessAC tethered 100–240V or cordless Li-ion with WiFi app — one control core
App ExperienceLive cleaning map, mode switching, filter life alerts, OTA
Filtration LogicClog detection, auto-debris release, water-quality sensor interface reserved

FAQ
How long does pool robot development take?
On our platform: 10-day evaluation, first prototype in 45–60 days, and typically 6–9 months to MP including tooling and certifications. Existing mechanical platforms accelerate this significantly.
Do you support second-source engagements for big brands?
Yes. We provide auditable documentation, code escrow, NDA-first confidentiality, and welcome QA audits and on-site joint debugging.
How is underwater leak detection implemented?
Multi-point conductive probes plus humidity sensing trigger millisecond-level protection: stop, report, auto-surface return. A production sealing test plan is delivered together.
What runtime do cordless models reach?
Typically 90–150 minutes depending on pack size and pump power; we provide a power-budget worksheet to define the whole machine.
Can we use your controller kit with our own enclosure?
Absolutely — a common model. We deliver the control kit with interface docs; you own mechanics and assembly, with joint sealing reviews.
