Stable Version 97 2025/03/21

Software Updates:

• Improved Path Planning Predictability: Enhanced Matic’s navigation logic to create more consistent and efficient cleaning paths, reducing randomness in movement.

• Driver Timeout Handling: Updated the Matic's driver behavior to explicitly return an error when a timeout occurs. This prevents timeouts from being misclassified as anomalies, reducing instances of sudden stops.

• Bug Fix – Duplicate Room Coverage: Resolved an issue where Matic would clean the same room multiple times within a session, upon customization of room boundaries. 

App Updates:

• Forced Update on Onboarding: When major updates are available, the app now guides users through a mandatory update during onboarding to ensure they start with the latest features and the best possible experience.

Stable Version 96 2025/03/14

Software Updates:

• Transition Cleaning: Matic now attempts to clean transition areas—small spaces between carpets and hard floors—to optimize cleaning coverage.

• New GUI Implementation: We’ve revamped Matic’s graphical interface using iced, a cross-platform Rust GUI library. The new design aligns closely with our app’s look and feel, maintaining consistent colors, fonts, and icons. Additionally, memory usage has been significantly reduced from ~30 MB to ~20 MB.

• Improved Edge Cleaning Motion: Matic now maintains a straighter path during edge cleaning for more precise results.

• Bug Fix – Mopping Skipped Rooms: Fixed an issue where Matic would occasionally skip mopping certain rooms.

Firmware Updates:

• Pre-Mopping Check for Better Efficacy: Matic now performs an additional verification step before mopping to ensure optimal cleaning effectiveness.

• Improved Sweeper & Duct Obstruction Detection: The system now more accurately differentiates between a detached sweeper and an obstruction in the duct.

App Updates:

• New Video Recording Flow: Recordings have been brought to the home screen in the app. Users will now see a pop-up when a recording is completed, along with the total duration of the recording.

• Mopping Speed bump Alert: To prevent wringer clogs, the app now displays a directive popup when users attempt to start or schedule a mopping session.

• Bot Location Display: When Matic is navigating solely using wheel odometry, its estimated position is now shown on the map, making it easier to locate.

• Forced Update During Onboarding: If a critical update is required, the app will now enforce an update during onboarding to ensure the best user experience.

Stable Version 95 2025/03/06

Software Updates:

• DINO Model Enhancements: Introduced DINO (Distillation with No Labels), a transformer-based neural net model that significantly improves occupancy map predictions, particularly for steps. The system now processes Bayer images as input, eliminating the need for computationally expensive image processing. This not only reduces latency but also preserves richer signal data, leading to more accurate predictions.

• Scheduled Queuing: When a robot is manually controlled via joysticking or user navigation, it will now automatically resume its scheduled session afterward.

App Updates:

• Skipped Session Reporting: The app now logs skipped sessions in the history when they are bypassed due to an upcoming scheduled session.

• Onboarding Enhancements: Users can now access settings during the onboarding process for a smoother setup experience.

Stable Version 94 2025/02/27

Software Updates:

• Stop Flow Improvement: If the user presses stop while the robot is idle docking, it will come to a full halt.

• Lost Robot Fix: Reduced instances of the robot getting lost, leading to more completed cleans.

• Docking Loop Issue Resolved: Previously, in rare cases, the robot would repeatedly dock and undock after finishing cleaning.

• Session History Accuracy: Fixed an issue where session history incorrectly reported that cleaning was not completed.

• Edge Cleaning Accuracy: Resolved an issue where edge cleaning was falsely reported as incomplete in areas with many obstacles.

• Mopping Navigation Fix: The robot now moves to the correct location immediately when beginning to mop.

Firmware Updates:

• Brush Roll Dislodged Detection: Matic can now detect if the brush roll is placed incorrectly during sweeping.

App Updates:

• New Map Flow Integration: The "Add a New Map" flow is now integrated into the Home Screen.

Stable Version 93 2025/02/20

Software Updates:

• Enhanced Edge Cleaning: Improved edge detection for better coverage in corners.

• Corridor Navigation Fix: Resolved an issue where the robot could get lost in corridors, ensuring more stable navigation.

Firmware Updates:

• Refined Mopping Behavior: Adjusted mopping patterns to further prevent water drips.

• Adaptive Saturation Algorithm: Introduced a new algorithm that adjusts based on the mop roll’s lifetime, ensuring consistent moisture levels for effective cleaning.

App Updates:

• Mop Roll Installation Flow: Added a guided process for inserting a new mop roll to ensure proper saturation.

Stable Version 92 2025/02/13

Software Updates:

• Robot Lifted Error Support: Enhanced detection and resolution for improved error handling.

Firmware Updates:

• Optimized Airflow: Improved airflow model to enhance bag capacity and overall efficiency.

App Updates:

• New Device Management: Users can now add a new Matic directly from Settings > Switch Matic > Add New Matic.

• Simplified Scheduling: Creating schedules is now more intuitive, with naming now optional.

• Enhanced Error Handling: Improved robot lifted error management with faster troubleshooting and resolution.
