Robot cleaners for your home
Barren. They mop. They empty. Even clear landmines. That used to be things of science fiction, but today are a reality.
For house cleaning, office cleaning, and yes, even cleaning up land mines and booby traps – there cleaning robots they can trust. And what a blessing to the land of mine have been cleaning!
iRobot
Some of the cleaners first robot created by iRobot. Company co-founder Helen Greiner tells us that the idea began when she was still studying computer science and engineering electrical and mechanical engineering at MIT.
She said: "In college, when the project ends, ending with a robot graveyard. I wanted a place where he could jump from the theoretical investigation of the products so that we could make a real industry. "
Today, iRobot is one of the best known manufacturers of cleaning robots. And despite its most popular products are the home and office cleaning products, the robot that actually keeps most of life is the clearest minefield, the PackBot.
PackBot's job is to clear landmines and booby traps left behind in the old areas of war. One of his first assignments was in the dark caves of Afghanistan. They have been so useful to the soldiers that these men actually give nicknames PackBots.
"A Marine brought Scooby Doo, the PackBot blown up in the warehouse in Iraq. Only her head had survived," Greiner recalled. "La Marina is credited with saving him and his colleagues on several occasions in the last 17 missions. "
But not only the battles fought by the soldiers. Now are fighting for household cleaning products and professional way.
For home and office cleaning, iRobot Roomba is a robot that sucks, Scooba, Looj washing floors, cleaning the gutters.
More cleaning robots
Cleaners in recent years other robots have been implemented. Electrolux Trilobite Neato and are examples of vacuum cleaning robots like Roomba. Evolution of the Mint, on the other hand, sweeps and mops.
The main difference between these robots is how you navigate through the environment and its cleaning ability. Roomba, for example, was not designed for deep carpet hair, while Trilobite is.
Neato method of navigation maps of an area with sensors before cleaning it, starting from the perimeter, moving inland. Evolution of the Currency, on the other hand, maps of the roof and to ensure that no part of the room is lost, simply browse the blocks on the ground.
These allocation methods to ensure that cleaning robots move evenly across all areas of the room, to facilitate cleaning.
Other robots that are not assigned to a room on the other hand, only based on avoiding obstacles instead – something like the cars hit children play. This means you could end up going through some areas several times and in some areas only once.
Now this may be a good thing, because if a area is approved by more than once, that means that cleaning is deeper – in that area. What some people do not like this method of navigation, however, is undoubtedly results in a longer home or office cleaning time compared with that of a robot cleaner which passes through an area once. Some office cleaning in London has already been done by robots made by Subaru, but at this stage only sweeping and vacuum.
Robot cleaners are definitely the future and are becoming more advanced and efficient at all times. It's literally just a matter of time before we all have our help in the home or office.
