In every movie, there is a hidden world. Fish become modeling clay; skiffs are really boxes; a giant sword being drawn from its scabbard turns into a much smaller kitchen knife. This is the secret world of foley: adding in sound effects in a studio, using common items, while the scene plays on a screen.

Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni Robot Cleaning System
Clean floors no longer require hours of sweeping and mopping. Combining a vacuum, mop, and auto-cleaning station, ECOVACS takes the cleaning experience to a new level of convenience with the DEEBOT X1 OMNI Robot Cleaning System. Equipped with YIKO, the industry's first natural language for home service robots, the vacuum features AI voice interaction technologies, including voice semantics from Google, allowing users to control the DEEBOT with just their voice. Ask it to modify settings, check on the status, or clean a specific room. Before the device gets to work, it creates a precise map of your space and plots a path, ensuring every inch is thoroughly and efficiently cleaned. It also detects objects in its way in real-time, navigating around furniture and sleeping pets, and automatically transitions between carpeted areas to all hardwoods. When the cleaning is done, the DEEBOT auto-empties the dustbin after vacuuming, auto-washes the mops and auto-dries them with hot air to avoid any bacterial growth, and lastly, auto-refills with fresh water, so it's ready for its next mopping job.
