Robot Vacuum Competition Heats Up: Beyond Suction to Enhanced Hygiene and Security

[Economy 365]

Robot vacuums are going beyond basic dust suction, increasingly strengthening their floor hygiene and security features.

LG Electronics explained that its recently launched robot vacuum, "Roni," sprays 100°C (212°F) steam to heat the mop to about 50 to 60°C (122 to 140°F), effectively softening and wiping away hardened grease and stubborn stains on floors.

Once cleaning is complete, the mop is automatically washed with steam and hot water, followed by warm-air drying. This process has been shown to eliminate 99.99% of four types of harmful bacteria on the mop and reduce odor-causing substances by up to 97%.

Additionally, considering security concerns regarding cameras roaming around the house, collected information is encrypted, and when not in use, the main body is stored inside a closed station.
