Robot Vacuum Demystified - What Can a Robot Vacuum Cleaner do for you?

What is a robotic vacuum cleaner?
Yes! It does exactly what you think it sucks. Unlike the traditional vacuum cleaner, however, is slightly different ... and he is intelligent. We're not talking about artificial intelligence or something. It 'just what he wants to do, when you want to, without having to interfere or slip.

A robot vacuum cleaner vacuum carpets and hard floors and attract dirt in a tray that can be emptied from time to time. When he had finished, the robot vacuum deposited on the docking station or speak to inform you that this is done cleaning. Not bad eh!

How does it feel?
Size matters
Most of the robotic vacuum cleaner Roomba and as Infinuvo CleanMate are round in shape and are 3-4 cm high and about 12 cm in diameter ...

The shell ...
On the upper part of the device is located on the control panel. Some have one or two buttons, and many others have an LCD screen. What do you say!
On the front of the device is fixed to a crescent-shaped spring bumper or light depending on the brand and model. The bumper is the presence of obstacles (walls, furniture, etc.).

The belly of the beast ...
The robot vacuum cleaner is sitting on three wheels and rests with one or more brushes, depending on the model. You'll also notice a series of science fiction looking for sensors that provide your girlfriend a little 'intelligence. These sensors are used to detect stairs or other obstacles.

How does a robotic vacuum cleaner?
Initially the robot sits quietly on its docking station, the majority of them. Keep in mind to adjust the robot and the docking station in an open space. Avoid cabinets or other tight spaces as they make it very difficult for your robot vacuum cleaner navigate away and return to the station.

The docking station has a main function to recharge between cleaning cycles. As the robot finds its way to the station that you might ask? Good question.

Station projects a beam of light at a distance of about 6 meters with a "V", which serves as a beacon. During the cleaning cycle, if the vacuum cleaner robot detects the light beam, avoids the dock. Once the cycle is complete or the battery is low, the robot uses the beam happy to go home to his dock. The owners of the robot without docking station can connect the output load manually blank with the power supply to the robot.

On the set day and time, the suction power off the robot workstation. He did not come back until the cleaning cycle is complete or the battery is low. In the case of a low battery before completing the cleaning cycle, the robot stops the cleaning cycle and to find the way to the station. The calendar is integrated in the robot program memory. A simple button sequence allows you to set your favorite program.

Finding your way: Navigation
No need to sit around while the robot vacuum performs a cleaning cycle. The robot navigates using an integrated technology that provides April-May cleaning mode. For example, the robot vacuum can use a circle or a spiral pattern to cover the area. Other ways include walls along the center of the room, zig zag, traveling diagonally, and more. All this is part of your robot intelligence!

Areas of empty and non-empty you ask? The Roomba gets a little help from virtual walls and / or headlights. Virtual walls included some models and can be sold separately. This device emits a beam of infrared light that serves as a door or a virtual wall. When the robot vacuum that is, the light signal, the device changes direction to avoid the area.

Even headlight beam of infrared light as the virtual wall, but is also equipped with a radio technology designed to help your vacuum cleaner robot position at home and improve the cleaning efficiency. In essence, the beacon lights are similar units that allow the robot to locate and navigate your way back to the dock, like ships at sea use the lights to avoid collisions with the rocks of the coast and get safely to port. But empty robots have a big advantage over the ship can not sink! Unless, of course, you have a pool in the middle of your living room!

CleanMate Infinuvo empty Metapo simply relying on its ability to navigate virtual walls and lighthouses are available notes.

What are its limits?
Lets start with a robot vacuum cleaner that certainly will not do it for you. For example, empty bot not act as a moderator or involved in conflicts at home or in the office, but they can help, eliminating the hassle of cleaning the void! You can improve your social life in many ways. Imagine impress your guests with your robot vacuum cleaner schedule a cleaning cycle while sharing snacks and drinks.

Here are some important limitations:

These intelligent robots do not work well beyond a slope of 30 to 35 degrees, but we hope you are upstairs.
They are not capable of vacuuming the stairs.
Robot vacuum sensor light does not work on black surfaces dark that light can reflect.
Keep in mind that the robot vacuum cleaners are designed for vacuuming floors and carpets. They are not designed to clean floors. A robot called washing floors Scooba has been designed for this purpose. Also note that it is not recommended to use a robot floor cleaning on wooden floors unsealed or laminates.

You will find robot vacuum cleaner do a great job in removing dirt, but keep in mind that do not have peripheral vision as you and me. Therefore, we can find a pair of particles missed opportunities ... but do not put your faithful robot, it really is the best!
