Famous for its household devices such as hand dryers, bladeless fans, and heaters, Dyson actually had ever assembled and demonstrated a cleaning robot several years ago. But unfortunately because it was too expensive, the product was never released to the market. Then in 2014, they also showed off a new unit of vacuum cleaner which looked more modern, and now it has been over a year since its introduction, how it goes now?

The British consumer electronics company has officially launched a vacuum cleaner robot named 360 Eye in Japan. It means Dyson officially challenges the Roomba in this realm.

A number of top-tier technologies are presented in 360 Eye. Reportedly to complete the product, Dyson should spend over 16 years and also funds of approximately US $ 43 million, plus US $ 43.300 for the cost of production. And as a result, 360 Eye is claimed as the most capable vacuum cleaner robot today. It's very effective in cleaning, and can read the circumstances surrounding it.

The environmental detection and navigation capability relies on the 360 degrees visual system, and from this ability, the robot gets its name. The 360 Eye robot observes and predicts the room based on complex mathematical formulas, probability theory, geometry and trigonometry. As a result, 360 Eye knows which location that has or hasn't been cleaned.

The motor can rotate in 78.000rpm; sucks up eight liters of air in one second.
