iRobot envisions future through Looj and forthcoming ConnectR
The future is headed for a mechanical era, and soon a time is approaching when every household would require a robot to carry out their daily tasks.
If for some reason, you missed out on iRobots earlier creations, never mind the same name has come up with two new and exciting machines, the Looj and the connectR.
Looj is a gutter-cleaning robot, while the ConnectR is the company's first venture into virtual communication and interaction.
The Looj resembles a belt sander, and is designed to clean an entire stretch of gutter moving in through the narrowest of dimensions.
The kid Looj measure about 2.25 inches high, the trait that makes it easy for the lad to collect all the debris collected in the gutters.
ConnectR is the little buddy coming along though, awaits an official announcement. The ConnectR is embedded with a full tilt-and-zoom video camera, a speaker, a microphone and a headlight to give a real-life experience.
It is projected as a telepresence robot that would let people interact via the Internet.
The iRobot Looj will cost $99, and the interactive iRobot ConnectR is priced at $500. The time has approached reality, and the way these have been priced soon, we would see these at our homes.
