In South Korea, Samsung introduced a new model of the TangoView vacuum cleaner (index: VC-RL87W), which, in addition to its basic work - easy gadgetry in automatic mode - can perform the functions of a watchman. The vacuum cleaner has a built-in camera that can be connected to via an Internet connection from a laptop, tablet or mobile phone. That opens up a whole field of activity for the resourceful robot owner. It remains only to teach the vacuum cleaner to cook borsch and walk the dog.

Philips decided that it's time for robots to start to enslave humanity to acquire their own robotic vacuum cleaner and introduced its stand-alone unit called HomeRun. The robot is equipped with 20 sensors, a built-in camera, a gyroscope, an infrared sensor and is able to independently map the area entrusted to it.
