Being a brand as luxurious appliances, surprisingly, has not created a Dyson vacuum cleaner robot before. The British company announced a prototype in the early 2000s, but did not think she was ready and never ordered their production. Then in February this year, invested $ 8 million in research in robotics laboratory at Imperial College in England, which was responsible for developing a technology sensor for robot vision advanced rendering algorithms and interaction. It seems that this investment in research and development has paid off: Dyson finally have your own robot vacuum cleaner.
The Dyson Eye 360, which was announced at IFA, will be available in Japan before debuting on the international market and will cost 130,000 yen (about $ 1,250, £ 750 and AU $ 1.320). Weighs 5.2 pounds (2.4kg), will fit 0.4 liters of debris, connects single, and has a lithium battery that supposedly lasts 20 minutes. That does not seem too long if you consider that the Roomba and Neato respectable can suck for hours before you need to recharge. But Dyson reviles other brands in its official press release, accusing them of focusing on the battery instead of the engine power.
Dyson has a lot to say about the digital motor V2 low power consumption of 360 Eye Cyclone technology, including having "more suction power than any other vacuum cleaner robot in the Japanese market." So this robot seems Dyson exchanging battery for best performance. If this is true, it is a welcome exchange.
However, Dyson is assuming more than the suction power of the Eye 360. It also comes enabled to use apps. The Dyson link to Android and iOS apps supposedly allows you to organize cleaning schedules or ask him to clean whenever you want, with functions to start, stop or pause. This could give the robot vacuum cleaners (or at least the Dyson vacuum cleaner robot) a real advantage in the market for smart homes.
As its name suggests, the Eye has a 360 360-degree camera that can capture up to 30 frames per second. Dyson says that this allows the robot to orientate to know exactly where you are, where you've been and where to go. It also uses infrared sensors to detect obstacles. All this sounds great, but virtually all vacuums we tested robots boast of their high vision system mapping.

Dyson also highlights the wide brush style tank and wheels to differentiate it from the rest. Instead of traditional wheels of robot cleaners, has Eye 360 supposedly webs may cross several surfaces ground and avoid obstacles more easily. And his bar width carbon fiber brush can supposedly close to walls and other hard to reach places without the side brushes that are so common in other robot vacuums.
I had to play around with the Eye 360 this afternoon and was impressed by its size. It is smaller in diameter than other robots, but also higher. So even though the brush bar occupies the entire width of the robot, can be of all other marks smaller ways. These different measures can also mean you can not get down from the couch or chairs to suck balls nuisance dust so easily. However, it seems that the Eye 360 does have a serious engine behind its elegant exterior design of Dyson.
The Dyson only 360 Eye debut in Japan in the spring of 2015, with international releases later that year. It will cost 130,000 yen (roughly US $ 1,250). Be sure to check more of our coverage of the IFA here.
