Robot vacuums are getting smarter and smarter. Now, they can not just empty but also clean themselves. So will we soon see inferior bots disappear?
When we imagine the future, we like to think of a legion of loyal, smart robots that serve us at our pleasure: Piloting us around in flying cars, cleaning for us, cooking for us, and handling all the daily domestic tasks we just don’t want to do. When it comes to robot vacuums, that means the emptying of the dustbin. While plenty of robot vacuums can now take care of that dirty little chore for you, there are many more that don’t.
Hazard recognition is also improving monumentally. Where older botvacs might have stalled out after getting tangled in a wayward charging cord, or worse, rolled through an unfortunate dog accident and painted the floor with a Crayola kaleidoscope of burnt umber, today’s vacuums are able to detect, recognize, and avoid problems.
Once considered a novelty for germaphobes, the self-emptying vacuum robot is a lot more than that. Traditional robot vacuums may not be smart enough to tell you when their on board dustbin is full, so they will often head out on their rounds, merely driving around your house, suction power all but diminished because their bin bellies are too full. With a self-emptying robot vacuum, this means suction power is always maximized because the bin is never too full to accept more.
