A Silicon Valley startup named Neato Robotics has introduced a new home robot vacuum cleaner. The Neato XV-11 all-floor vacuum system offers so-called Room Positioning System (RPS) Technology, a solution that uses laser vision to map a home's entire floor space, which helps the robot avoid obstacles that other robots can only detect by impact.
"Our team of Neato engineers, some of whom are career roboticists, have worked tirelessly to squeeze innovation from commodity computing products and pioneer a smarter, more powerful robot vacuum than any previously seen on the market," says Max Safai, chief executive officer of Neato Robotics.
The Neato XV-11 all-floor vacuum system will be available for purchase in the U.S. via the Neato Robotics web site, and other retail partners during February 2010. The suggested manufacturer's retail price is $399.
