Toshiba Smarbo, the new roomba


.

Toshiba Smarbo
 We've all seen the iRobot, LG, and Samsung robots, but there's a new bot on the market. Smarbo is the latest in robot vacuum technology and its developers are Toshiba. This robot has some very cool innards such as 38 sensors for a better job well done, and CPU(s) that aid with the "double brain function." However that's not all, Toshiba claims that this little pie shaped robot can clean over 1,000 square feet in about 90 minutes. Toshiba also plans to release this bot on October first, and its price tag isn't too thrifty, being at a big $1,000. Well, thanks for reading and we will add a video of this amazing bot when the video first comes out.
