Spic And Span Floors With A Robot Vacuum Cleaner!

Straight out of a Richie Rich comic book comes Irona, the robot maid! This time she’s here to help you do the floors. Yes, you can pick up a robot floor vacuum cleaner for yourself and free yourself for other more meaningful, creative activities.

The robot floor cleaner is programmed to vacuum the floors of your house completely unsupervised. Control and command is implemented locally via a hand held command unit, or remotely via other technologies like wireless Internet access and cellular mobile networks.

Sophisticated logic circuits scan the floor to determine the amount of dirt there, and compute the number of passes required to clean the area. The robot then moves ahead and repeats the scan. In this way the whole area designated for cleaning is covered. No more getting down on your hands and knees to clean under the bed or the couch – the robot is designed to clean all those hard to reach places.

The special feature of the robot floor vacuum cleaner is that it does its work unsupervised. Why is that special? You don’t have to be on hand to guide it around the room, avoiding the furniture. The robot is armed with high tech sensors which tell it when to stop at a wall or to work its way around a chair which wasn’t there yesterday. A low-end model has mechanical sensors which signal the robot to stop only after they contact the obstacle. Such a robot should be equipped with rubber bumpers to prevent damage to delicate objects which may come in the way of the robot when it is doing its work.

The robot vacuum cleaner does its job real well. There is a small problem with cleaning tight areas like the join of the floor and the wall, and corners. This robot does a great job with general house cleaning. The fine cleaning will have to be done manually.

Manual cleaning is still required for staircases and steps. The robots also have a strange appetite for the loose fringes at the edge of rugs and carpets! This causes the robots to stall, and you have to run to their rescue. All these are run-of-the-mill problems which are currently being addressed by the designers of these sophisticated robots.

The floor robot vacuum cleaners that are available today can handle all sorts of floor surfaces, and work well on carpets too. They are programmed to detect pet hair and wet patches, and clean these up in addition to normal dirt and debris.

The robot vacuum cleaner can move freely around the room because it does not need to be tethered to a power receptacle. It carries its own rechargeable battery. Some models return to a base station and get recharged all by themselves. The price of the robot depends on the features that are provided in that particular model. The low-end models are quite affordable. The price of the high-end models is quite steep, obviously.

The robot floor cleaner takes the place of a domestic help. You can do other more important things while the floor is getting done by the robot. This saves your time. More than that, you’ll appreciate the freedom from that dead-boring, mentally stultifying chore which is as brain-numbing as they come! Cooking is creative and positive, the dishwasher and the washing machine don’t require you on site all the time; it’s just the vacuuming that requires you to be there every second! Yes, if you think that ‘saving time’ means that the robot can clean the house quicker than you can, you’re mistaken, badly! It takes at least twice as long as a manual vacuuming operation.

Ah yes, there’s also the small matter of emptying the robot floor cleaner which is still your responsibility. But this is just a minor irritant compared to the advantages of having a robot do your vacuuming for you. Not only does it save you your time, it releases you from that feeling of drudgery that is part and parcel of doing the same old job, day in and day out.
