Looks like robot vacuums are a great invention afterall,
as Time names the
iRobot scooba Floor
Washing Robot among its Most Amazing Inventions of 2005.
scooba's innovative cleaning process allows the robot to
simultaneously prep, wash, scrub and dry hard floors, all
at the touch of a button.
TIME spent more than six months surveying diverse fields
like electronics, sports equipment and clothing to create
its fifth annual list of the newest and most inspired ideas
of the year. Inventions chosen are profiled in a 43-page
cover feature in the TIME issue, on newsstands until Nov.
21 and on www.time.com.
"The TIME editorial team of tech, science and health writers
get together every year and pours over amazing inventions
from a range of industries, including medicine, aeronautics,
transportation and food," said Joshua Macht, TIME.com, the
editor who directed the Most Amazing Inventions of 2005 package. "Together,
we pare it down to a list of breakthroughs that we think
could have huge impact."
scooba is the first floor washing robot designed for home
use. Unlike a conventional mop that spreads dirty water on
the floor, scooba applies only fresh water and cleaning solution
to the floor from a clean tank. scooba can clean wet spills
in addition to dirt and grime, and it is safe for use on
all sealed, hard floor surfaces, including wood and tile.
scooba will be available at retail outlets in the first quarter
of 2006 and can be pre-ordered online at www.irobot.com.
“We feel honored TIME Magazine selected the iRobot
scooba as one of the most innovative technologies of this
year,” said Greg White, executive vice president and
general manager, iRobot. “This recognition is a testament
to our engineers, as well as our robots, scooba and Roomba
Vacuuming Robot, as they usher in the new era of home robots.”
