This news post from I4U had me in fits of laughter reminiscing about the Mr. Sparkle Simpsons episode. But I digress. Koreans have all the luck - if not vacuuming robots, then it’s floor cleaning robots for smooth surfaces like this Mr. Cleaner model.
“The Mr. Cleaner robot can operate 2 hours on a single charge. It sells for a low 98,000 won (~100USD) in Korea. It does not seem to have very smart electronics as far as I could translate the article, the price is also supporting that assumption.”
Sweet - soon, with vacuuming robots, floor cleaning robots, lawn mowing robots and other similar gadgets, we will be able to get on with the more important things in life - playing with our remote-controlled Daleks! Just make sure you set your phone on auto-reply first!
