SUZHOU, China, Jan. 11, 2022

SUZHOU, China, Jan. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Midea Robozone, an innovator in
smart cleaning technology that develops various cleaning solutions across the
US, UK, Germany, Russia, and 100 other global markets, today launched a new
brand, obode.

Obode will launch its first product, the P8 auto self-cleaning mopping robot
vacuum, in the U.S. and U.K. this spring. Featuring mop pads that self-clean
with the cleaning agent, ToF LDS Navigation, smart automatic water
replenishment, and customizable app, this innovative new cleaning robot adds
powerful cleaning and modern convenience to any home. P8 is one of obode's
most advanced AIoT products, perfect for cleaning medium-sized to large-sized
homes made even more convenient as everything can be controlled via obode Life
APP.

Aiming to help people reclaim their time, using smart technology that cares
for their world and enhances their lifestyle, obode is at the forefront of
developing new AIoT cleaning solutions and products. "Obode wants to bring the
life-enhancing home technologies and bold aesthetics found in "cyberpunk"
stories into reality," said Alice Shaw, Head of Global Marketing Center at
Midea Robozone. "As change accelerates in 2022, from how we work to how we
shop and live, the company hopes to create a smarter, easier world where the
small tasks don't take time away from achieving the big goals."

Obode is an AIoT technology eco-brand that brings the future to busy, trendy
working-age people to give them more freedom and a positive living
environment. At home, in the world around them, with smart, stylish, easy to
use AIoT products. Obode aims to help people reclaim their time, using smart
technology that cares for their world and enhances their lifestyle. With
Midea's R&D and industrial global supply chain advantages, obode continually
increases value for clients by revolutionizing high-performance robot vacuum
cleaners to provide more convenience to global customers and enrich their
stay-at-home lives.

Ms. Shaw continued, "obode's goal is to create a style of future that we call,
'positive cyberpunk'. Customers will be able to take it easy thanks to obode's
tech. It is also a promise that this tech will be easy to use and won't add
more stress to their lives. Today, we boldly imagine the combination of art
and technology as the ultimate goal, so a robot vacuum cleaner, a smart tech
work of art, offers more convenience mixed with humanistic values of warmth,
comfort, and companionship. We envision P8 as the customer's 'roommate'."

Obode cares deeply about environmental protection and is planning to work with
animal protection associations and environmental protection agencies to reduce
the burden on the environment.

Through cooperation with the National Gallery, obode will invite Finnish
Artist Janine Rewell to jointly create a pattern for home decoration. Obode
believes that art and technology will last forever, making way for a new wave
of tech life.
