In fact, creating coziness and comfort at home, so that you want to come back to it, is not so easy. Robot vacuum cleaner is an excellent assistant in reducing household chores.

Attention, about which robot vacuum cleaners are in greatest demand in 2020, you can read here.

Types of vacuum cleaners

In order to maintain order, you have to use more than a dozen devices, including a vacuum cleaner. The horror is that modern vacuum cleaners are quite massive and uncomfortable. Yes, they are much better at cleaning than an ordinary broom or broom, but this is still not enough.

There are several types of vacuum cleaners on the market: classic, cyclonic and with an aquafilter.

Classic. They are based on the collection of dust and other debris in a bag. Working on the basis of dust collectors, about thirty years ago, they have had incredible success. Although they had a number of disadvantages:

• The areas in the house where carpets were present were poorly cleaned;
• Have insufficient suction power;
• The dust collectors were difficult to clean.

Cyclonic. This type of vacuum cleaner simplified the task a little, getting rid of the disposable dust collectors, which they did not like to clean so much. A container came to replace it. Due to the fact that the durability of the garbage container reached high rates, and the ease of cleaning pleased the housewives, they gradually moved their predecessors on the market. Disadvantages of this type of vacuum cleaner:

• Difficulty in repair. That is, if the flask is broken, you will have to pay an impressive cost;
• Container volume too small;
• The Hepa filter will need to be washed a little more often.

Vacuum cleaners with aquafilter. In this technique, a combined part takes place. The bottom line is that there is a small tube on the brush that sprays hot water a second before the cleaning process itself. That is, such a process can be safely called wet cleaning. Despite the fact that they are now among the best selling in the world, several disadvantages can be highlighted:

• Incredibly heavy and large. It will be difficult even for a man to lift one.
• Typically, the power in such vacuum cleaners is less than in analogs of classic and cyclonic versions.
• High price.

Modern technologies to date have not stopped at these three types of vacuum cleaners. The fact is that mobility and comfort always come first. Therefore, the creation of new technology is more focused not on results, but on comfort. In the world of vacuum cleaners, there are also such non-standard solutions.His name is a robot vacuum cleaner.

A robot vacuum cleaner is an excellent solution to minimize human labor in terms of cleaning. Equipped with artificial intelligence, the robot can easily independently, without human intervention, maintain a clean house. To do this, you just need to turn it on, select the required mode, and start. The robot vacuum cleaner will start automatically. In all models of this kind of helpers in the house, there is a small remote control on which it is easy to find out about the percentage of charging and the success of the machine.

How does a robot vacuum cleaner work?

Many do not understand the structure of the operation of such a device, which is often frightening. However, if you plunge a little into this information, it turns out that in fact there is nothing supernatural. Robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with a prototype artificial intelligence program. Thanks to her, he is able to recognize obstacles in front of him, push off from her in a different direction and continue to work further. Developers spend a lot of time to think over the very repulsion system of the robot. If you miscalculate the trajectory, then there is a high probability that the robot will describe the figure in the room no more. Orientation in space is one of the most important indicators that must be calculated with an accuracy of a centimeter.

For the device to work effectively, it is recommended to remove all unnecessary things, toys, and so on from the floor. So that the algorithms for the movement of the robot are not too uncontrollable. That is, due to the abundance of unnecessary things on the floor, the machine will not correctly perceive the main area of ​​its work.

It is known that similar attempts to develop vacuum cleaners in this direction have existed for a long time. Due to the lack of technical capabilities, robotic vacuum cleaners received due development at the beginning of the XXI century.

There are many different models of robot vacuum cleaners in the world. Due to their specific work, they are not very common in Russia. And the high cost also proves that many people prefer not only to save on their comfort, but also on the equipment itself, by purchasing cheap products.
