Toshiba Smarbo takes on dirt, Roomba, music playing prowess unclear

Toshiba is simply the newest company to go into the robovac fray. Samsung , ASUS and LG have already tested the waters against the mighty iRobot , now it’s Smarbo’s turn to attempt its hand at automated vacuuming. Contained in the round floor cleaner are 38 sensors that help it avoid obstacles and keep it from falling down stairs, in addition to a CPU or CPUs that sport “double brain function” in keeping with the machine translated PR. The bot is very quick, supposedly ready to clean 100 square meters (over 1,000 square feet) in about 90 minutes, and only uses a few cents worth of electricity to take action. Toshiba’s vacubot will hit shelves in Japan for around $1,100 on October first, but it surely does suffer one distinct disadvantage — DJ Smarbo just doesn’t have the identical ring to it.
