Cleaning the house wouldn't be half as much of a hassle if it didn't involve hauling a heavy vacuum around every inch of each room. The Electrolux Robo Tap Cleaner does away with this problem with its ability to roam freely from one mess to the next.
But instead of spending hours circling carpets, tiles and hardwood floors, all the while avoiding obstructing furnishings, this intelligent invention by Gyu Ha Choi follows the user's lead to discovering areas in the most need.
An integrated IPS system is incorporated into one's shoes so that the device can track your whereabouts at all times. The Robo Tap Cleaner simply waits for you to strike the floor once with your foot, indicating a dirty patch, which it then approaches to suck up any scraps.
