Jiva V1 (model Jiva-01) is a robot vacuum cleaner from Botloka of Bengaluru, researched, designed and built in India for Indian homes. It is aimed at the fine dust, dry kitchen debris, balcony leaves and hair found in Indian households. A 5,000 Pa fan drives what Botloka calls a Sealed Airflow Architecture, which the company says keeps up to 85% of the fan suction at the floor. Dust is compacted in a 470 mL dustbox, which in the maker's home tests often needed emptying only every five days. The robot navigates with camera-free SPAD sensors fused with an ultrasonic sensor, so it records no images of the home, and changes direction adaptively around obstacles and room shapes. A 5,000 mAh lithium-ion battery gives up to 180 minutes in ECO mode or 100 minutes in MAX mode, enough for more than 2,000 sq ft per charge. The round body measures 320 x 320 x 91 mm and weighs 3 kg, low enough to pass under sofas. Jiva is operated with two buttons and needs no app, account or Wi-Fi. It sells for Rs 18,500 (Rs 21,000 list) with a 12-month warranty.
