How to keep your smart robo-cleaner on the right path – with voice command
Latest hi-tech devices include iRobot’s Roomba i7+ Robot Vacuum which can memorise up to 10 floor plans and ILIFE’s floor-washing robot that clean stains
Robot vacuum cleaners have been around for some time and the latest models come with smart features, which means they can clean and wash the floors automatically and efficiently.
The devices can listen to your voice commands and remember the floor plan of your home so they clean in every single corner and make the floors spotless while you are sitting there on the settee watching your favourite television show.
The newest models include the Roomba i7+ Robot Vacuum, made by iRobot of the United States, and the W400 Floor Washing Robot by ILIFE, based in Shenzhen, China.
The Roomba i7+ Robot Vacuum, which was launched in September, can “learn”, map and adapt to a home’s floor plan so the user can choose which rooms to clean and when.
The “smart” robot remembers up to 10 different floor plans and rooms and can clean specific rooms by name.
This means users can carry their robot vacuum upstairs to clean another floor or take it to use in a different home, where the robot will also recognise its location and clean as instructed.
The robot can seamlessly and efficiently navigate its way through the home by keeping track of where it has been and — according to the memorised floor plan – where it has yet to clean.
