The housekeeping robot can be used to clean a home or a commercial environment such as a hotel.
A four-legged robodog that can vacuum carpets, mow the lawn and water plants has been invented by Dyson engineers.
But engineers at Dyson are hoping their version will be used to help people combat their never-ending list of household chores. It is designed to be able to move around under its own power and then sit down when finished so the cleaning module can be removed, either to be recharged, maintained or switched out for another module, for example replacing a lawn mowing module with one for mopping.“With a housekeeping module attached, the robot may be able to clean under and between more obstacles, increasing the coverage,” Dyson writes in its patent.
It adds that the machine is designed to have four legs, each with a knee-like joint, and pads on its feet, but these could also be replaced with wheels if needed. David Shrier, professor of practice, AI and innovation at Imperial College London, said that we will see more automated helpers in our everyday lives as robots improve and integrate AI.
