Market leader iRobot might solve this problem with its latest floor washing robot, the tiny Scooba 230, unveiled at CES this year. The Scooba 230 has a three-stage cleaning system that washes, scrubs, then squeegees the floor – a process than iRobot claims neutralizes up to 97% of household bacteria. Unlike iRobot’s original Scooba, the Scooba 230 measures just 6.5 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches tall, so it can clean nooks and crannies that larger vacuums or robots cant reach. The Scooba 230 can clean rooms up to 150 square feet, so it’s ideal for the kitchen or a bathroom. Today, iRobot officially launched the Scooba 230. The robot costs $300, and comes with 2 virtual walls and 4 packets of hard floor cleaner.
Toilet Washer Robot
The next step might be a toilet washing robot. Some ideas and prototypes are already under way such as the toilet cleaning robot prototype developed at the department of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, Ariel University Center, Israel. The robot attaches to the toilet seat and brushes around the bowl. Check out the video below.
