What is Roomba®?

In 2002, a company based on Massachusetts, based in Bedford IRobot®, an automatic residential vacuum cleaner known as Roomba®. Roomba®, low profile, round robotic sweeping was the first autonomous, battery, separate vacuum to gain commercial popularity in the United States. Most models have rotating brushes to sweep the dirt towards the Squeegee vacuum, which collects residues in the removable basket. Sensors and front bumper help to go through Roomba®, provide the ability to avoid stairs, sensory walls and furniture, and determine the vacuum cleaner course in the room. Cleaning robots include 500 series and 700 series with other numbers to identify specific functions. For example, the 500 has 530, 560 and 572. Advanced models, known as the 700 series, have more advanced planning options, dirt sensors, DOT controlsYet pads and filters with high particulate efficiency (HEPA).

Technological advances have resulted in the more autonomous models of Roomba® since the initial edition in 2002. Initially IROBOT® technology required user input for room size, while Modern RoomBas® automatically perceives the size of the room and also for flooring floor material. Reef sensors, particle sensors and radiofrequency sensors transmit information about the Roomba® on -board computer. The particle sensors determine the level of heavy impurities through acoustics. Radio frequencies and cliff sensors call a vacuum to avoid stairs and when the "Virtual Wall" transmitters are present for further limitation of cleaning areas.

The

first -generation models ran on the nickname of the NiMH Batteries and demand that the user manually place the Roomba® on the output charger. Newer generation models offered the capabilities of self -service where the vacuumIt returned to the docking station when charging the battery dropped below a certain level. Other battery options included independently charged batteries that allowed users to remove and replace the batteries for charging. Newer Roomba® models come up with internal batteries that cannot be independently charged or replaced.

What started as an autonomous vacuum cleaner, soon advanced to other products and improved robotic technology for other applications. The first customers could buy so -called bone robots to adapt Roomba® technology for other use. Government treaties with IROBOT® have led to the development of autonomous robotic technologies for use in bombs and other military applications. Further internal research and development of the company has led to other autonomous cleaning products such as Scocob® for automated hard floor moping, Verro® for automated pool and LOOJ® for automatic gutter cleaning.
