Smarbo: Toshiba Announces Roomba Competitor
The Roomba just got new competition from Japan: Toshiba has announced [JP] a new cleaning robot today, the so-called Smarbo (which is probably short for "Smart Robot"). Just like its US counterpart, the Toshiba robot is primarily intended for use in households.Toshiba built quite a few features into the robot, for example two CPUs (details unknown), a camera, and a set of 38 sensors (gyro, acceleration, range detection etc.). The company says that the Smarbo cleans an area of 100sqm in about 90 minutes and that electricity costs stand at just 2 yen ($0.03) for a room of that size.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/WDQjUDubmqs/
