Samsung's newest and smartest robot vacuum cleaner has some new user-friendly features. It comes at an increased price and we're still unsure as to how capable it is compared to a human, though. Yesterday, Samsung launched an updated version of its NaviBot robot vacuum cleaner — the NaviBot S. We’re assuming the S stands for ‘slim’, or ‘sleek’, or ‘smart’ (or maybe ’Skynet’), because the NaviBot S promises some interesting upgrades and more user-friendly features.The NaviBot S is noticeably smaller than the previous model. At only 80mm tall it sits very close to the floor, sweeping away unobtrusively — it’s not as chunky as the Roomba 577 or Roomba 530, and its glossy plastic and smooth curves make it look more like the rest of Samsung’s generally attractive home appliance and consumer IT products.Like the previous NaviBot, the S works with virtual guards to block off difficult areas (stairways, tables and chairs, and so on) so it won’t get stuck or lost.

This system would take some setting up initially, but once you’ve got your robot house-trained it should do almost as good a job as a good ol’ fashioned human being — and at a fraction of the cost.Visionary Mapping PlusSamsung says the new NaviBot S is a ‘visionary cleaning device’, but we’re guessing this refers to the vacuum’s integrated camera rather than its ability to predict the future. vorwerk vacuum cleaner irelandIn conjunction with its Visionary Mapping Plus system, the camera lets the NaviBot S build a visual map of your house through photos of your rooms’ ceilings.harga kirby vacuum cleanerThis map lets the NaviBot S work out where walls and obstacles lie, and plot the best possible cleaning courses across your floors. philips robot vacuum cleaner - fc8802

Samsung doesn’t profess to say that the mapping is perfect — the vacuum will only try to avoid obstacles — but it’s better than a robot vacuum with no camera.The camera and map setup also lets the NaviBot S remember where it finished cleaning last time, before recharging or emptying its bin, so it won’t clean spots again unnecessarily. Dust Sensor CleaningAnother touted feature is the NaviBot S’s ability to sense areas that are dirtier than others — when it is collecting a larger than normal amount of dust — and to give them extra vacuuming and sweeping attention.It’ll boost its vacuum power in dustier and dirtier areas, so it should handle houses with mixed carpet and wood or tile floors without much fuss. We bet this will impact battery life, but with smart recharging this shouldn’t cause a problem.Auto Dust EmptyingThe more expensive of the two NaviBot S models in Australia will have an auto dust emptying feature — a first for a robot vacuum cleaner. The charging dock for the NaviBot S also functions as the add-on dustbin, with a 2L capacity.

This boosts overall capacity to 2.6L, so the high-end NaviBot S won’t need emptying nearly as often as any other robot vacuum. When it gets full, the NaviBot S will return to the dock to empty itself — minimal human intervention required.ModelsThere are two NaviBot S models now available in Australia: the NaviBot S SR8950 for $1099, and the NaviBot S SR8980 for $1299. The higher-priced model includes the Auto Dust Emptying function.The latest Samsung intelligent robot vacuum cleaner is Navibot S SR8980 which is built to complete the features list of the first version NaviBot. One of the most important update of the second version comes from its name – ‘S’ – define a slim robot which can clean large areas and fits in all places. Other improvements of the robot includes proximity sensors, a new mapping system, and a really impressive sense of dust. The first time when Navibot S vacuum cleaner was revealed to the public was in 2011 at IFA in Europe and since then the device impressed with his new features.

With a new intelligent system for cleaning the vacuum cleaner is designed to be used at home to vacuums your floors, carpets, soiled areas, and to completely take the cleaning task from your hands. Samsung build more than a vacuum cleaner robot, the company is involved in a big project aimed to enter into people’s homes until 2020 at least one robot. Also these robots could be connected to smart devices like smartphones to control and generate feedback from the robot. Sony or Honda are also involved in big projects to build humanoid robots like AIBO or ASIMO. Samsung engineers build Mahru-Z which can be used as a robot maid. This is an advanced humanoid robot which can recognize people, can work with a microwave or use washing machine, or serve a cup of tea. Samsung create a proper environment dedicated to making a better world since 70 years ago when the company was founded. The company has activities in various fields from medicine, technology, construction or hotels.

Koreans surprise every year with new products and in the last months new vacuum cleaner robots like NaviBot S or Tango Stealth impressed by the quality offered. The new design of Navibot was a challenge for engineers who decide to increase the capacity of bag-less, and add new and improved technologies which makes the robot one of the best on the market. One of intelligent vacuum cleaners was solved by build one of the most advanced dock station. The robot detect when the built-in bin is fully and empties the contents in a much larger bin available at the docking station. The total capacity of dustbin is 2 liters. While the robot empty the contents of bag also the main brush is cleaned. The new design bring improvements to the height of the device which is with 10% less than the predecessor. The new improved height is 8cm which allows the robot to clean almost anywhere. Navibot S clean much faster than Tango with 320mm/sec, has integrated several types of sensors to be more safer, and can turns 120 degrees in a seconds.

Compared with the first generation a 25 sq m area can be cleaned in 11 minutes compared with 19 minutes take as before with the old generation. A new and improved sensor for dust was integrated. The sensor keep focus on places where the dust is difficult to be cleaned. Also it has a function which improve the power of main brush and vacuum to improve the quality removal of dirt. On market are available two versions NaviBot S SR8950 and NaviBot S SR8980. The difference between these two versions is Auto Dust Emptying function. The Auto Dust Emptying function is used when the dustbin is full and should be empties at the docking station. Features include a slim body, a new and improved visual mapping systems, proximity sensors, and an improved dust sense. In general a vacuum cleaner make too much noise which is disturbing. Navibot S works silently with a sound pressure level of 60dBA. The robot recharge the battery automatically and it takes around 3 hours for a full charge.
