Dyson launches 'world's first' smart robot vacuum with live cameras to map your house
(and it even puts itself away)
Dyson today announced its first robotic vacuum cleaner, after 16 years of research
and £28 million
(or 45,717,000.00 US Dollars)
of investment.
The Dyson 360 Eye will cost in the region
of £750 (or roughly 1,224.56 US Dollars)
when it goes on sale in Britain next summer.
The robot uses a panoramic camera lens on top of the machine to map its way around the house, moving on caterpillar tracks and cleaning each room before going back to its docking station.
