Robots that help with housework

 


As I was flipping thru the newspaper this morning, this article catches my eye.(Source : The Star, Star Special : Homes) Vacuum cleaner that cleans my floor.iRobot is the world's first and only (wet and dry) robotic cleaning system. Either iRobot Roomba for vacuum cleaning or the iRobot Scooba for floor-washing robot for home use.



The interesting about iRobot Roomba is that it’s automatically navigates around your house thoroughly, cleaning up to 99% of your floor. (Hmmm... bye-bye broom). It's built-in intelligence automatically returns it to its self-charging home. Roomba's exclusive Dirt Detect sensors will tell it to work more intensively at dirtier areas.A built-in clock and scheduling function allows you to set daily work times. (If I were to leave for a long outstation, I won't need to worry about me coming home to a clean dirt free floor).Its patented three-stages cleaning system includes a spinning side-brush, two counter-rotating brushes and a powerful vacuum. 

Robot Scooba uses a four-stage cleaning system to prepare, wash, scrub and squeegee the floor. Scooba uses only clean water to wash floors every time, while the collected dirty water is stored separately.(Hmmm... bye-bye pail and mop). It even washes hard to reach places.

iRobot was founded in 1990 by Massachusetts Institute of Technology roboticists with the vision of making practical robots a reality.
