Neato Robotics is a robotics company located in Mountain View, California.[1] Their product, the Neato XV-11 robotic vacuum cleaner, began selling in 2010 for $399.00. The company has around 25 employees, and in 2009 attracted $15 million in funding.[2]
Unlike the Roomba vacuum cleaner which goes randomly around a room, the Neato robot travels in straight paths with minimum of overlap, with the help of a laser range finder, which sweeps around in a full 360° circle,[3] and the SLAM algorithm which allows it to map the room being vacuumed while it is completing its task.[4] The XV-11 is able to locate its charger and charge itself when running out of energy, and has sensors which prevent it from falling off stairs.Robot change my life.source from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neato_Robotics
