Dyson has over fifteen years and 100,000 hours in developing this robot vacuum cleaner.
UK-based Dyson, originally of bagless vacuum cleaners, introduced the Eye 360, equipped with a system to detect obstacles 360 degrees. This vision would make it more autonomous and more efficient than its competitors. Its marketing is planned for next year.
Dyson, the manufacturer behind the bagless vacuum cleaner and fan without propeller, presents its first vacuum cleaner robot. His eye would now need 360 more than fifteen years of development, mobilized 200 engineers and consumes 47 million dollar budget (about 36 million). This autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner literally see the room in which it is located and its navigation system mapping its environment to determine a route.
It is equipped with tracks meant greater maneuverability and allow it to evolve on any rubber surface. The suction nozzle and rotating brush covers the entire width of the machine to suck in the corners and edges of the walls. 360 Dyson eyes has a lithium ion battery that gives you 20 minutes remaining before it returns to its charging station. Obviously, the vacuum uses cyclonic technology without bag. Robotic section based on innovations that make the eye 360 of the vacuum until the autonomous more elaborate date.
The vision system 360 is comprised of a camera filming the environment at a rate of 30 frames per second with an angle of 45 °. It is topped with a panoramic lens and installed on the top cover of the robot. The shutter speed of the camera is synchronized with the speed of movement of the apparatus, which allows it to calculate a specific position within a millimeter. The collected images are processed using mapping technology and simultaneous localization called SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping). Infrared sensors detect obstacles. Everything is controlled by a software named Dyson Digital Algebra combines algebra, probability theory, geometry and trigonometry. Dyson explains that this navigation system takes landmarks in a room to triangulate its position to know where it is, where it went and where it should go. Its development required 100,000 hours of work identifies the press release.
The second innovation is a digital electric motor. With an output of 100 watts, it is based on a neodymium magnet whose speed is electronically controlled and can reach 78,000 revolutions / minute. This far exceeds that of an (approximately 20,000 revolutions minute /) electric DC motor speed allows to obtain a suction power much larger. In a video posted on YouTube, Dyson says his engine is also smaller and lighter. The robot can be controlled remotely from a smartphone or tablet with Android and iOS apps that allow to program and monitor cleaning operations, materialized on a map. Dyson plans to begin marketing the 360 Eye in Japan in spring 2015, no official price has been released at this time, but Engadget advance a rate of $ 1,650 (about 1,274 euros), more than double models high current range ..
