LG’s Hom-Bot Turbo+ Is a Robotic Vacuum Cleaner That Doubles as a Security Camera

LG Electronics wants to help you with your home cleaning chores. The company has announced that it will showcase the Hom-Bot Turbo+, the world’s first robotic vacuum cleaner featuring an augmented reality view at the CES 2016 trade show next month. The smart cleaner, which can be controlled by a smartphone, doubles as a security camera.

The Hom-Bot Turbo+ comes with a range of interesting features. It has a vision system that lets it automatically avoid the obstacles in its way. The augmented reality view in the Hom-Bot Turbo+ can be observed on the paired smartphone, the company noted. This also enables a user to clean a specific area by just tapping on the screen.

The smart vacuum cleaner houses a range of sensors and filters including the Home-Joy, Home-View, Home-Guard, Triple-Eye, Robonavi, Smart Inverter Motor, Corner Master, Digital Bumper, and Easy-out Dust Bin. It has a noise level of 60dB, and comes with an inbuilt lithium battery.

The Hom-Bot Turbo+ also works as a security monitoring tool. It is able to send pictures of your house to your smartphone when there is some movement when you’re out.

There’s no word on pricing yet. CES 2016, one of the largest consumer electronics trade shows, will take place between January 6 to January 9.

There’s also the LG CordZero Canister, which as the company claims, can do a continuous cleaning for up to 40 minutes in regular mode, and will be shown off at CES 2016. It is said to be 10 percent more efficient than a conventional 2,000-watt corded vacuum cleaner.

“The powerful new technologies found on the latest LG CordZero products represent the company’s commitment to innovation and providing customers with a better life through better products,” said Jo Seong-jin, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company in an emailed statement.

Phoenix OS is (another) Android-as-a-desktop

Google Android may have been developed as a smartphone operating system (and later ported to tablets, TVs, watches, and other platforms), but over the past few years we’ve seen a number of attempts to turn it into a desktop operating system. One of the most successful has been Remix OS , which gives Android a taskbar, start menu, and an excellent window management system. The Remix OS team has also generated a lot of buzz over the past year, and this week the operating system gained a lot of new alpha testers thanks to a downloadable version of Remix OS that you can run on many recent desktop or notebook computers. But Remix OS isn’t the only game in town. Phoenix OS is another Android-as-desktop operating system, and while it’s still pretty rough around the edges, there are a few features that could make it a better option for some testers. Some background I first discovered Phoenix OS from a post in the Remix OS Google Group , altho...

How Education Will Be Smarter, Less Intrusive, And Able To Respond To How You Feel

Impatience characterizes the technology sector’s approach to education. Disruption is taking place in all other sectors of society — so, why not education? I know too well, whether at Pearson or in the classroom, the challenges and frustration of developing and using digital tools that improve outcomes for students. But I’m optimistic. We are on the verge of a tide of smarter innovation that, if allowed to spread, will turbocharge the learning experience for students. Here are four areas worth watching: 1. Using technology to learn from learners Every great digital product constantly evolves by learning from its users, adding capabilities, and improving its performance. If it’s true for your Facebook feed, then why not education? The potential is there, as the OECD’s recent report on Students, Computers and Learning (OECD) incidentally showed how clickstream and tracking navigation in digital readers can be used to see how students process online text and...

The App Ecosystem’s New Status Quo

Americans spent more time using smartphone and tablet applications in 2014 than they did mobile and desktop web combined. With nearly four billion smartphones projected to be in use by 2020, the platform shift to mobile is well underway. The smartphone supply chain has already become a central and unifying aspect of the tech industry. For the first time, there exists a ubiquitous technology that connects us all to a central ecosystem, and apps form a huge part of this. The bar is constantly rising for mobile, and if we accept the “mobilization” of the future as a given, then what we are seeing is only just the very beginning. Paradigm shift in payment models Many people still view apps as unsophisticated software with simple, one-dimensional functionality. This perception, however, is going to change. With the widespread adoption of mobile devices and the continued improvement of the hardware layer, alongside the creation of a robust app economy, it has bec...
