From
Samsung Korea comes VC-RS60 and VC-RS60H intelligent cleaning robots.
Cleaning at a rate of 0.4 metres a second, the VC-RS60 and VC-RS60H "know" when
they're running out of juice. Just as you head to the kitchen for a snack or a
drink when you get hungry, these robot cleaners are programmed to return to
their charging stations when the battery falls below 20% (they last about an
hour on a full charge). There is also a UV lamp affixed to the bottom that helps
the robot cleaner "see" (and clean up) ticks, mold, pollen and other things that
may not be visible to the naked eye. Like other vacuum cleaners (and lawnmowers,
for that matter) of its kind, these Samsung devices will turn around when they
hit a stairway or some other obstacle.
The VC-RS60 is available in Korea for 890,000 KRW ($945) and VC-RS60H for
990,000 KRW ($1050) for premium model.
