See Botvac Connected in action here.“Picture this:  you’re at work when you learn that unexpected company is on the way to your house,” said Nancy Nunziati, Neato’s vice president of marketing. “You grab your smartphone, access the Neato app and with a couple of taps your Neato robot immediately starts cleaning. Your floors – at least – are clean when your guests arrive.”According to Neato, Botvac Connected cleans twice the area in the same amount of time and has twice the airflow of competitors. And when cleaning carpet, Neato picks up 50% more fine dust and cleans four times closer to walls.“Add to this our unique laser-guided navigation and the ability to vacuum your home right from your smartphone and it’s easy to see why Botvac Connected is setting a new standard for robot vacuums,” said Giacomo Marini, Neato’s chairman and chief executive officer.The new Botvac Connected features:Anytime/anywhere vacuuming:  When Botvac Connected is paired with a home Wi-Fi network and the Neato app, users can remotely set up a regular vacuuming schedule, start a full house or spot clean, stop or pause the robot and get instant notifications about the status of the vacuuming run.

Remote control from the Neato app:  Users can direct the robot’s vacuuming path right from the Neato app when connected to the home network, moving Botvac Connected to clean wherever the user chooses.High capacity Lithium Ion battery:  Improves the robot vacuuming experience with increased run times and a longer life span than a conventional battery.Two new cleaning modes:  Users can choose between Eco Mode for a longer, quieter energy saving clean, or Turbo Mode for super-powered cleaning, with maximum pick up. vacuum cleaner sales san antonioEco Mode will clean for up to 120 minutes while Turbo Mode has a run time of up to 90 minutes.karcher vacuum cleaners pricesUltra performance filter:  Botvac Connected features a new filter that captures up to twice the small particles (0.3 microns) compared to competitors.  vacuum cleaner cad block

A new filter design makes it easy to pop out when emptying the dirt bin, and a new mesh screen keeps dirt from accumulating on the filter, making it easier to clean.All Neato robots use the company’s patented Neato Botvision™ technology that combines laser scanning, continuous room mapping and real time object detection to plan the most efficient course to clean a home. This means Neato alters its navigation instantly when a new obstacle enters its path. It can work in the dark, moves from room to room, and knows when to return to its base for recharging — and then automatically goes back to the exact spot where it left off to finish the job. Unlike round robot vacuums that randomly bounce around a room, Neato moves in a methodical, straight-line path.Neato’s advanced SpinFlow™ Power Clean system combines powerful suction and precision brushes to clean all types of floors. Neato’s unique D-shape and patented CornerClever™ technology means Neato moves deftly into corners. With the largest brushes and dirt bins on the market, Neato covers more square footage and picks up more debris than any other robot vacuum.

Botvac Connected is part of the well-regarded Neato Botvac™ Series of robot vacuums.  Along with the popular Neato XV™ Series, the robots are available at all major online and brick and mortar retail partners. Botvac Connected will be available starting in the fourth quarter of 2015, with a suggested retail price of $699.About Neato RoboticsNeato Robotics creates robots smart enough to perform household chores as intelligently and efficiently as a human.

It has taken 16 years but James Dyson has achieved one of his dreams: to build a robotic vacuum cleaner. As befits a device of the modern age, it can be controlled remotely via a smartphone app – and reports on where it has been. Announced on Thursday, the Dyson 360 Eye relies on two breakthroughs: a machine vision system that takes in a whole room from a single camera lens and a powerful lightweight digital motor that enhances battery life. Sir James Dyson says that the machine vision system for the device – which was introduced in Japan and is due to go on sale in the UK in summer 2015 – will have applications beyond household appliances. “We think vision is a technology of the future,” Dyson told the Guardian. “We believe it has other applications – that’s why we’re putting money into developing vision systems.”

In February, the company announced a £5m investment in developing “intelligent domestic robots” with Imperial College, including work with Professor Andrew Davison, who developed 3D room-mapping using a single camera – as used in the device. Dyson hopes the 360 Eye will allow people to abandon their manually operated vacuum cleaners and leave the robot to clean their floors while they are out. “People replace their vacuum cleaners roughly every six years on average,” Sir James Dyson told the Guardian. “This will clean the floor and you can use a light battery-operated stick-style cleaner to do the curtains, sofa and so on … Most robotic vacuum cleaners don’t see their environment, have little suction and don’t clean properly. While several companies have developed robot vacuum cleaners – including Miele, iRobot’s Roomba, Samsung and LG – they have gained little market traction. The Roomba has sold around 10m units since it was introduced in 2002. Dyson prepared a similar product in 2001 – but it had 84 sensors, two onboard computers and would have cost around £2,000.

The 360 Eye, launched in Japan – the world’s biggest market for robot vacuum cleaners – will cost around £700. The essential vision system is enabled by a fisheye camera lens on top of the device that can see the whole room at once, analysing 30 frames per second of data to work out its position relative to corners and obstacles. Coding this software took 31 engineers more than 100,000 hours – and used algebra, probability theory, geometry and trigonometry to generate information about the robot’s location. The robot starts at a charging station attached to the mains and moves into the room’s centre, cleaning in a square spiral. It uses “tank treads” rather than wheels to avoid getting caught in deep pile carpets and to conquer lips or small steps. It has a “fall stop” system to prevent it tumbling down steps. Dyson claims that its methodical approach to cleaning – rather than following a random path or long sweeps – means it can cover maximum floor area per charge and never goes too far from an area it has already cleaned.
