LG announces Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE vacuum cleaner

lghombotThe folks over at LG have just announced that they will be offering a new kind of vacuum cleaner to the masses, and what better way to celebrate such an entry into the world of consumer electronics than to do so at CES 2014? We are talking about the LG Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE which will offer a significant boost in cleaning performance, thanks to it being equipped with LG’s innovative smart technologies that will include Smart Control, Cleaning History, Smart Diagnosis and Software Update. Basically, this slew of technologies would enable owners to remotely control the device using their smartphones.

The Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE is unique thanks to its ability to clean the hard-to-reach places in your home. Basically, it moves in the same direction as LG’s ultimate goal, which is to improve people’s lives. Thanks to Corner Master, LG’s Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE will be able to clean effectively and efficiently. Corner Master is made up of a couple of long brushes, where there will be corner detecting sensors that will work alongside the cleaner’s unique shape. Thanks to its angular form and redesigned brushes which happen to be 1.5cm longer than on its predecessor, the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE will be able to remove dust and dirt from tight corners. This allows the vacuum cleaner to know of its exact location in the home, where it will then direct it to turn whenever it has reached the edge of a room.

A couple of improved Dual Eye 2.0 cameras will see action on the HOM-BOT SQUARE, allowing it to be smarter, faster and more efficient when it comes to its cleaning performance. Capable of snapping several images each second, the upper and lower cameras will check out ceilings, walls and floors, never mind in low light conditions. Such information will then be analyzed by the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE so that a smart map is generated. There is also a large capacity Easy-out Dust Bin that makes cleaning a whole lot more convenient since it requires less frequent emptying.

    Netgear AC750 WIFI Range Extender Tells Optimal Position

    Netgear AC750 WIFI Range Extender Tells Optimal Position[CES 2014] Netgear’s AC750 WiFi extender is the new addition to the growing line of WiFi AC offering from the company, and it comes with a twist: with a simple LED light system, the AC750 can tell the user where the optimum position is in the order to get the best ratio between range/distance and signal quality. It seems to do this by running a simple analysis of signal strength which will tell the user not to place it too far from the router. The idea is to get as close as the range limit of the router as possible, while not going too far and lose the signal. It seems trivial, but without those light indicators, you would probably waste a lot of time with trial/errors and benchmarks.

    In case the home has Ethernet wiring, the Netgear AC750 can also connect to that and become a simple long-range WiFi access point. That’s a great way to “upgrade” your WiFi network to WiFi-AC, without having to buy a new router.

    Finally, since it uses dual band (2.4GHz and 5.0GHz), which makes it possible to split the network traffic to avoid congestion. I honestly never needed to do that, but if you have tech-savvy kids who use a lot of bandwidth, this may come in handy.

    Netgear Trek N300 Travel Router[CES 2014] The Trek N300 is another travel router that looks pretty interesting: first of all, it can share public WiFi HotSpots to all your devices, so that may beat your older travel router, but it also has a flip-out antenna that supposedly makes the reception better. It’s impossible to tell without running some tests in the real world, but I just think that it looks cool. (more…)
