2023-08-17
The history of robot vacuums has been a round one. The first robot vacuum ever to be introduced to the public was round. Not yet equipped with modern intelligent navigation sensors, if it got stuck in a tight corner, it could just keep turning around, probing until it found open space to travel. Then, alternatively shaped robot vacuums entered the scene. D-shaped and square robotic vacuums have staked the claim that they are better suited for reaching ground that went uncovered by the first s

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to connecting physical objects to the internet so that they can communicate with each other and with us. These objects can be anything from your TV, lightbulb or even your fridge, fitted with software that allows them to collect and exchange data. For example, picture your alarm clock waking you up in the morning and then sending a signal to your coffee maker to start brewing a pot of coffee as your bedroom blinds automatically open. Or, imagine a smart the

Garages are an oft-forgotten frontier of household cleaning, a liminal space between the indoors and outdoors where cobwebs, clutter and remnants of the outside tracked in by cars accumulate. But the age of robotic helpers is upon us, and they’ve come to rescue garages from the clutches of disarray. I’m talking about robot vacuums, those tireless machines with the ability to navigate labyrinthine garage layouts and leave them spotless. In this article, we’ll delve into the features of garage-cle

Ah, the monotony of vacuuming. If you’re not one of the blessed ones who derives joy from cleaning, then vacuuming is one of those repetitive chores that just seems never-ending. But a smaller space should be easier to clean than a larger space, right? Not so fast! It’s easy for dust and debris to accumulate on the limited square footage and with limited airflow in a compact home, as well as for space to become occupied with this, that and the other piece of furniture; resulting in a situation w

Did you know robot vacuums only started using cameras in 2015? Prior to that, they used low-cost infrared and collision detection sensors to detect obstacles, dumbly moving around a room at random. It was only in the last decade that smart vacuums started using cameras to capture photocells so they could identify specific objects and map their environment. Now, robotic vacuums with built-in cameras are on the rise. Let’s talk about what a camera does in your robot housekeeper and how camer
