Dyson launches 'world's first' smart robot vacuum with live cameras to map your house (and it even puts itself away)
The £750 Dyson 360 Eye’s panoramic lens features 360° vision Live cameras capture 30 images a second to build a picture of the room It then uses mapping software to plot its route around the house, and sensors stop it from bumping into obstacles 'Tank tracks' mean it can move between different floor types easily Digital motor spins at 78,000 RPM - the highest suction of any robot vacuum Owners can also remotely control the Eye with a smartphone app
By Ben Spencer for the Daily Mail Dyson today announced its first robotic vacuum cleaner, after 16 years of research and £28 million of investment. The Dyson 360 Eye will cost in the region of £750 when it goes on sale in Britain next summer. The robot uses a panoramic camera lens on top of the machine to map its way around the house, moving on caterpillar tracks and cleaning each room before going back to its docking station.

The Dyson 360 Eye (pictured) as a 360° lens so it knows where it is in a room and where it has already cleaned. It uses a panoramic camera lens on top of the machine to map its way around the house, moving on caterpillar tracks and cleaning each room before going back to its docking station
Infrared sensors will stop it bumping into furniture. Users will set its cleaning schedule via a smartphone app - allowing them to start a clean even when out of the house.
Dyson follows Miele, Samsung and LG into the robotic vacuum cleaning sector, but the company claims 360 degree camera - which can see all around the room at once - is unique. The UK firm says the machine has the most powerful suction of any robot vacuum on the market.
The cleaner is powered by a V2 Dyson digital motor - the result of £150million of research - and uses the company’s bagless Cyclone technology to separate dust and dirt. Sir James Dyson, who launched the machine in Japan this morning, said: ‘Most robotic vacuum cleaners don’t see their environment, have little suction, and don’t clean properly. They are gimmicks. ‘We’ve been developing a unique 360 degree vision system that lets our robot see where it is, where it has been, and where it is yet to clean. ‘Vision, combined with our high speed digital motor and cyclone technology, is the key to achieving a high performing robot vacuum – a genuine labour saving device.’ The new machine is Dyson’s second attempt at a robotic cleaner. In 2001 the firm was close to launching the DC06 - a large robotic machine which relied on dozens of infrared sensors all around the body.
The panoramic lens' (pictured) shape and position gives the robot the ability to see around a room. Its live cameras capture 30 images a second, to build a complete and continuously updated picture of its environment. The ‘eye’ also features ‘simultaneous localisation’ and mapping software to create a 360˚ view of the room
Continuous Tank Tracks, or caterpillar tracks, maintain speed and keep the robot on course as it moves across different floor types (pictured). Once the house is clean, the robot navigates back to its docking station
