DYSON 360 EYE™ ROBOT
The Dyson 360 Eye is an automated robotic vacuum cleaner that can be controlled using a mobile app.
Dyson 360 Eye™ Robot comes forward among other existing robotic vacuum cleaners in terms of strong suction power, navigating environments by “seeing” them, using wheels that limits movement. It uses a V2 Dyson digital motor and Dyson’s Radial Root Cyclone tehcnology to deliver suction to capture particles down to 0.5 microns in size. A 360-degree panoramic camera accompanied by infrared sensors visualizes the room and uses landmarks in the room to navigate its way around. The wheels are replaced by tank tracks to better maintain speed and direction, as well as overcoming small obstacles. When the battery runs low, the robotic vacuum cleaner will self-dock to get fully charged in two hours on its dock to give 30-40 minutes of cleaning time. In addition to setting the 360 Eye going manually, users can program it via an iOS mobile app. Dyson Link allows users to schedule it to clean at a specific time (for example, before they return from holiday) or on a recurring schedule.
