Samsung has launched the NaviBot-Silencio, an intelligent robotic cleaner that provides hands-free automated and hassle free cleaning on all surfaces. It is available at $1099 at all major retailers.

The NaviBot-Silencio robotic cleaner from Samsung, at $1099.
In the recent COMEX 2011, there were two booths selling robotic vacuum cleaners and moppers – the iRobot and the iClebo. I carted home the former and it’s now chugging along in the background while I write this posting.
Now Samsung has launched its version of the robotic floor cleaner. Based on appearances and technology used, it seems more similar to the Korean iClebo.
Visionary Mapping System for speedy and accurate cleaning
Samsung’s NaviBot-Silencio creates a map of the house with an onboard camera. The Visionary Mapping System captures images at 30 frames per second with the onboard camera, creating a map of the house and plotting the optimum route to achieve total coverage.
The NaviBot-Silencio also has the ability to memorize the best cleaning path, to calculate its exact location in the home, and remembers where it has cleaned, and what is still left to finish.
It also uses cognitive mapping technology with two CPU control chips, which serve as the ‘brain’ to think smart with high efficiency. When the battery is low, NaviBot-Silencio automatically takes the shortest route back to the docking station to be recharged. After being fully recharged, it goes back to its last location to begin cleaning.
Micro Fiber Polisher
NaviBot-Silencio picks up dirt, dust, pet hair, crumbs and other debris by specially designed rotating side brushes and power brush while it navigates in the house. The dust cartridge has a capacity of 0.6 litres and filters fine dusts through a washable HEPA filter. It also uses Samsung’s patented technology pet hair care to prevent pet hair from wrapping around the brushes.
The NaviBot-Silencio is designed with Samsung’s Air Path Technology to reduce irritating noise.
I really like your writing style, wonderful info, thanks for posting :D. “If a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, what is the significance of a clean desk” by Laurence J. Peter.
Thanks Rossie. Fortunately or unfortunately, I do have a cluttered desk.
