Our robotics world has a new guest. Guest’s name was neato XV-11, a commercial robot that will help you in doing homework. This robot is a robotic vacuum cleaner that will clean your entire floor, stairs and the corners of your home. Do you interested to have it ..?
Neato Robotics, a maker of robots that are smart enough to perform household chores as intelligently and efficiently as a human, has stated that its newly unveiled Neato XV-11 is an all-floor smart, robot vacuum cleaner that makes use of Room Positioning System (RPS) Technology to map the entire floor space while cleaning and avoid most of the solid obstacles that other robots can detect only by impact.
The company claims that by making use of advanced technologies their team of engineers has made a smarter robot that can clean floors thoroughly in lesser time. Efficient cleaning means more power is saved which is redirected to run the robot’ powerful jet vacuum engine that can pick all types of debris. The Neato XV-11 is designed to meticulously clean floors on a daily basis; ensuring owners enjoy neater, healthier homes and more free time for themselves.
Using the RPS technology, the XV-11 maps its surroundings in a room and determines the doorways when first analyzing a room. It determines the best path to take and starts cleaning the perimeter of the area and then uses a methodical back and forth straight-line pattern to complete the interior. It follows this method, cleaning a room in 15′ x 15′ segments, one at a time until it finishes cleaning one entire room. Then, it will go to one of the “recognized doorways,” drive through the doorway in order to start cleaning the next room.
In a release, Max Safai, CEO of Neato, stated that their engineers, some of whom are career roboticists, have worked tirelessly to squeeze innovation from commodity computing products and pioneer a smarter, more powerful robot vacuum than any previously seen on the market. They are providing all types of people – including busy families, working professionals, pet owners and seniors – with an incredibly simple and effective solution to keep homes neat and clean so they can spend less time cleaning and more time doing what they enjoy.
The Neato XV-11 is a true vacuum that painstakingly cleans floors and carpets, which mean high standards, are not compromised. In fact, over time and with consistent use, Neato home cleaning robots are even more thorough than humans.

The word robotics was derived from the word robot, which was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which premiered in 1921.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word robotics was first used in print by Isaac Asimov, in his science fiction short story "Liar!", published in May 1941 in Astounding Science Fiction. Asimov was unaware that he was coining the term; since the science and technology of electrical devices is electronics, he assumed robotics already referred to the science and technology of robots. In some of Asimov's other works, he states that the first use of the word robotics was in his short story Runaround (Astounding Science Fiction, March 1942). However, the word robotics appears in "Liar!"
