Aussie Robotic Vacuum Gets Helping Hand
Australian company Floorbotics won $64,000 funding from the Australian government to commercialize their new iVac machine.
The grant is from the Australian COMET fund for Commercialising E
merging Technologies. In addition to the grant, Floorbotics will get business advice on market research and completing the prototypes.
The iVac is a larger floor vacuum robot designed for commercial spaces. It has a 4 liter dustbin and can run for 1 1/2 hours before it needs to get a charge.
Floorbotics also has a home version called Floorbot which is expected in 2007.
The vacuums use a patented Autonomous Robotic Navigation Algorithm (ARNA) to map the room as they roam around vacuuming.
