Here Comes Android-Based Vacuum Cleaner!

Samsung has developed an Android application for the Navibot, which helps users control the robot remotely.

Controlling your vacuum cleaner through your phone sounds like a great idea. Isn't it? Well, here is some good news. Lately, Samsung has developed an Android application for the Navibot, which helps users control the robot remotely. It is the newly released robotic vacuum cleaner, which can be controlled through an Android handset. Navibot S is the robotic vacuum cleaner, which is an improved version of the older Navibot. But the Navibot S is admired because of many improvements including the ability to be controlled through an Android application.

Navibot S easily finds its way through your living room with the help of its camera. The camera takes pictures at 30 frames per second turning into a digital map of the room. It is useful in avoiding the cleaning of same spot again and again. The camera also acts like a webcam, which can be viewed through your phone, which is useful when the burglar alarm goes off or when you want to keep an eye on your pet or anybody else.
The device has an intelligent mapping technology, which helps it to clean the room or house conveniently. The application also uses the microphone and camera of the phone to let you know the location of the cleaner. Navibot S automatically empties the garbage in a central dustbin. It also goes back to the docking station, when it senses that its battery is low. It resumes the work after it empties its dustbin and is recharged.
Navibot, the previous version of the vacuum cleaner is already available in certain markets like Singapore. This new version is likely to be available in the next six months or so. It is yet not known whether Navibot S will be available in India or not. However, similar automatic vacuum cleaner from Eurekaforbes is already available in the country, called Euroclean Robocleanz. It is priced at Rs 6,600, but lacks phone control feature.
