LG Electronics (LG) will showcase its latest robotic vacuum cleaner, the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE (model VR6370VMNC), at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE not only offers a significant boost in cleaning performance, it isequipped with LG’s innovative smart technologies — Smart Control, Cleaning History, Smart Diagnosis™ and Software Update — allowing owners to remotely control the device with their smartphones. Recognized for its performance and convenience, LG’s newest Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE was named an Honoree of the 2014 CES Innovation Awards in the General Home Appliances category.
Working Quietly but Thoroughly
LG’s Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE cleans effectively and efficiently thanks to Corner Master, which is comprised of two long brushes, corner detecting sensors and the cleaner’s unique shape. With its angular form and redesigned brushes that are 1.5cm longer than on the previous HOM-BOT, the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE can remove dust and dirt from tight corners. The corner detecting sensors enable the vacuumto know its exact location in the home and directs it to turn when it has reached the edge of a room.
While robotic cleaners typically employ a single camera, the advanced HOM-BOT SQUARE uses two improved Dual Eye 2.0™ cameras for smarter, faster and more efficient cleaning performance. Taking several images per second, the upper and lower cameras scan ceilings, walls and floors, even in the dark. This information is then analyzed by the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE to generate a smart map. Simultaneously, multiple sensors detect obstacles within a 180 degree field and remember their locations for collision-free operation. The Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE also features a Learning Function which enables it to recognize areas it has cleaned previously. This helps it to remember the positioning of objects and to sense when an area is already clean, minimizing cleaning time and energy.
The LG Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE’s large capacity Easy-out Dust Bin makes cleaning more convenient as it requires less frequent emptying. Unlike other robotic vacuums where the dust bin is located on the side, the Easy-out Dust Bin is located on the top of the unit for quick and mess-free removal. The larger, upgraded HEPA 11 filter is capable of separating dust particles from the air more thoroughly and also helps eliminate unpleasant odors in the home. Turbo Mode lets users manually adjust the cleaner to best match the characteristics of their flooring, while Smart Turbo Mode automatically detects the type of flooring and changes settings for optimal performance.
What’s more, theextremely low noise level of just 60dBA means the Smart HOM-BOT SQUARE won’t distract when family members are watching TV, talking on the phone or napping. And at only 89mm high, this robotic cleaner can maneuver around the home with ease, even under most beds, sofas and other large furniture.
