Spic And Span Floors With A Robot Vacuum Cleaner!
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
It's here! Had to happen, and it has! You now have your very own "Man Friday" to do your house cleaning for you! Well, don't dump your vacuum cleaner just yet, but yes, you can sit back and relax while the vacuuming gets done by itself, thanks to the floor robot vacuum cleaner.
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 robot is programmed to navigate around objects, or to turn back when it reaches the end of the room. How it does so depends on the model you buy. Sophisticated but expensive models detect boundary conditions using non-contact techniques like infrared or ultrasonic. Cheaper models stop only after colliding into the obstacle. This can damage the robot as well as the furniture and the walls, so you're well advised to get a model with rubber bumpers.
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.
Other areas of weakness are stairs and fringed rugs. The present models cannot negotiate stairs. They cannot "understand" that the carpet fringe will get sucked up in the vacuum and cause them to stall. No doubt these problems will be addressed by robot manufacturers in the near future.
The robot floor vacuum cleaners work well on all floors. They don't baulk at a little liquid on the floor. They are great at picking up hair, lint, small pieces of paper and cloth just like a regular vacuum cleaner.
The robots work off built-in rechargeable battery supplies. When the charge gets depleted an audio-visual alarm prompts you to recharge the robot's battery. Some models release you from this task as well, returning by themselves to a charging station for a recharge. The price of the robots varies according to the features they sport. The price can range all the way from affordable to way-too-high-for-me!
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.
