LG’S HOM-BOT SQUARE ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER MAKES ITS DEBUT

Pre-book the next-generation advanced vacuum with “Corner Master” that cleans up the competition

Karachi, April 08, 2013 – LG Electronics (LG) has started taking pre-booking orders on the HOM-BOT SQUARE robotic vacuum cleaner, the next generation of robotic cleaning technology.

“Helping consumer’s lead more convenient lives withsmart technology is what LG is all about,” said Mr. D. Y. Kim, President of LG Electronics Gulf FZE. “HOM-BOTSQUARE is contributing toward this goal in a large wayon the strength of its innovation and competitiveness inthis growing market.”

With sharp right-angles being found in practically every building in the world, LG engineersbased the new HOM-BOT on a square, different from the circular design of mostrobot cleaners. The cleaner’s unique square design, hi-tech sensors and newly improved brushes (1.5cm longer than those in the previous model) are collectively called CornerMaster and enable HOM-BOT SQUARE to more effectively reach areas that othercleaners simply ignore.

Corner-detecting sensors supply the cleaner with spatial information, telling it when theedge of the room has been reached, when to turn and when to stop. Sensitive Dual Eye2.0™ camera sensors scan the floor, sampling multiple images per second and then analyzethe information to generate an accurate map of the space – even with the lights off.

Onboard ultrasonic and infrared sensors allow the HOM-BOT SQUARE to detect andeasily avoid obstacles in its path.

LG’s HOM-BOT SQUARE also features Turbo Mode, which allows the user to manuallyset cleaning functions to the specific requirements of their flooring. And SmartTurbo Mode enables the cleaner to detect the type of flooring and change its own settings automatically.
