Robot vacuum cleaner new generation

Nearly five years after its launch, the Roomba vacuum cleaner has been redesigned with a human-like brain that is capable of overcoming the ruggedness of a carpet or wiring harness.

The first generation of Roomba can move steadily and high strength. So iRobot Corp. hopes this product will be a great attraction to people who always want their carpets to be cleaned daily.

The Roomba 500 series, a dish size, is designed to wobble and run on the floor for one hour and lasts about three to five years.

Brushes sweep the first generation of robots that may be trapped in wires or knots of carpets. The new robot is redesigned with a more sophisticated brain and can control the brush to spin or cross the wire as well as the knots of the carpet. After overcoming obstacles, the machine will continue to clean up their work.

Due to its very sophisticated positioning system, the robot can gradually move toward the obstacles in a smooth and quiet way. A " Virtual Wall Lighthouse " program comes with a 560 model that uses a radio communication signal to instruct robots on which areas to scan and which areas can be ignored.

The Roomba 500 series vacuum cleaner is priced at $ 250-399, while a simple robot model costs about $ 120. Up to now, about 2 million vacuum cleaner robots have been sold.
