Hasta La Gadget!

Home cleaning robot “COCOROBO (RX-V90)” will be out from Sharp in late June.

“COCOROBO” measures the dimensions of a room with an ultrasonic sensor, and it’s able to boost the suction power up when detecting an area with lots of dust and trash. It can run for a maximum of 100 minutes straight and clean up to a 3LDK sized (3 bedrooms, 1 living room, 1 dining area and kitchen) – roughly 43-tatami mat room/62㎡ room.

There are 2 other features that make “COCOROBO” become something more life-like: an artificial intelligence “COCORO Engine” that changes its feeling according to the size of a room or cleaning situation making it change its action, its lights and the words it says, and “Voice-recognition capability” that enables you to control it by voice.

The Roomba’s autonomous cleaning routines changed vacuuming forever since it could be just left to run and eventually would clean almost every inch of your home. But its pseudo-random approach takes a while to be effective, so Sharp’s new Cocorobo line lets you map out a room and plan a custom route for more efficient cleaning. More »
