Dyson's Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Correction...
Thanks to the comment posted by Thorn Stevens from Robot Stock News, I need to correct this post about the Dyson robot vacuum.
Dyson cancelled the development of this unit almost 2 years ago. It turns out that they were way ahead of their time. The world is not quite ready for a $6000 vacuum cleaner after all.
Sorry for the confusion.
Dyson, well known for their high priced bright yellow vacuum cleaners will be offering their version of the home robot later this year.
The US $6000(Yen 684,000)Dyson DC06 will break new ground in the field of home appliances that are more intelligent than their owners.
According to Gizmag, along with the breakthrough pricing you get a vacuum that is:
All this while solving Sodoku squares in its head.
And it also shares it's feelings about your home,
"there's even a mood indicator light - blue for happy, green when negotiating an obstacle and red if it feels threatened by its environment."
It almost sounds like you would want to clean your house before you let the vacuum robot see it. I would hate to be embarrased by my vacuum feeling sad or threatened by my messy carpet.

Capable of 'learning' the layout of a room without and navigating safely around unforseen obstacles, the DC06 is 5% vacuum cleaner and 95% robotic intelligence. Combining over 70 sensory devices and three on-board computers with independent wheel, microprocessor-driven SR electrical motors, the DC06 can make 10 decisions every second, enabling it to manoeuvre precisely and clean efficiently without repetition, even recognising when the job is done.

Unfortunately, this is a very old story that Gizmag republished and fooled a lot of folks.
The Dyson Robot Vac was first unveiled in 2001, went through years of development, and was then cancelled in 2004 before going on sale. Here's a 2004 article about the plug being pulled:

The Gizmag story doesn't have a date, but it's story #1282 and their front page stories are now in the 5,000s...
Thanks for the update.
I modified the original post to reflect this new information.

For a company supposedly founded upon the innovative idea that you can have a cleaner without a bag it's surprising that they dropped their robotic vac.
I think there will come a time in the not too distant future when the idea of manually pushing around a vacuum cleaner will seem ridiculous.

I am not sure people are ready to spend so excessively on such a vacuum cleaner. The convenience provided would be plentiful though! Definitely looking forward to a price drop!
I am truly happy to glance at this about cleaning posts. Black and decker Dust Buster Hand Vacuum cleaner is Most Popular Home Accessory for cleaning.
Since this article Dyson has actually released a robot vacuum. It doesn't look anything like the one in the picture, but I'm guessing it uses a lot of the same technology.
I found out about it here:

Dyson is pretty nice manufacturer. At least they`ve made a model wich can pass indoor trasholds. But there are also many other models of vacuum cleaners that have proven themselves from the very best side, especially today in 2017. Now articles are not relevant to the best robocopy cleaner, but about how to care for them and especially to replace the batteries, since they have their own strength resource. Due to - best robovacs nowadays
And about their maintence and batery replacement
