A Robotic Roomba Vacuum Cleaner
An Intelligent Design?

A robotic Roomba vacuum cleaner offers an "intelligent" way to clean your home.  Designed with iRobot’s AWARE Robot Intelligence Systems developed by the iRobot Corporation, this vacuum cleaner offers an unsurpassed intelligence when it comes to home cleaning.


How it Works

The Roomba vacuum is covered in infrared sensors that allow it to lay out a map of its surrounding environment.  Its smart design helps it locate the dirtiest areas in your home or office.  The infrared sensors located above the brushes are bounced off surfaces to help the Roomba map out the floor plan.  When the signal returns to the unit, the Roomba adapts its cleaning behavior to the type of surface it encounters.  This technology also prevents the Roomba from crashing down stairs or other such drop-offs: when the signal fails to return to the unit, the floor plan will be altered.  It is so sensitive that it can alter its cleaning pattern up to 67 times per minute.


For example, when the Roomba approaches a wall, it uses a spinning brush located on its side.  To eliminate larger waste, such as paper scraps, food particles, cat litter, etc., two counter brushes will be activated in addition to the regular vacuum technology which tackles regular dust, dirt and debris.


In addition, the owner can create "Virtual Walls" that the Roomba will not cross.  Similar to invisible fencing for dogs, the Roomba will understand that these areas are restricted.  


The benefits of Roomba vacuum cleaners don't end there.  It also offers exceptional efficiency in that it runs on a rechargeable battery - that you won't even have to charge. The Roomba takes care of this little task itself.  It is paired with a rechargeable home base that will call it back after each cleaning expedition is complete.


The intelligent design, construction, and maneuverability makes the Roomba almost twice as efficient as a typical upright vacuum for as little as half the price tag.  It can clean the tightest spots where dirt and debris collect with no user effort.


These benefits make it an ideal choice for those with limited mobility, visual impairments or the masses who despite vacuuming in general.  Expect to see the Roomba vacuum cleaner become a mainstream home cleaning choice in the years to come.
