In association with the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) the company Evolution Robotics announced their new cleaning robot “Mint”. The robot is basically an autonomous “swiffer” pad. The wipe based cleaner is thus quiet and could be a dry or wet wipe. The cleaning is based on structured traversal of spaces. This is an interesting idea. The details are still a bit shady. Does it have recharge capability? Does it handle cluttered spaces? Do I have to remove carpets? what about thresholds? Cost? Delivery time? However it is a compelling idea and it will be interesting to see it in operation.
