Sharp's COCOROBO RX-V60, a robot vacuum cleaner with moods that speaks the Kansai dialect
On its official page, Sharp presents the COCOROBO RX-V60 as a compact robot vacuum cleaner, designed for small rooms such as children's or elderly people's bedrooms.
According to Sharp, its artificial intelligence, called “Cocoro Engine”, gives it a mood that changes with its charge level and how far the cleaning has progressed. It reacts by combining speech, gestures and light signals.
According to the manufacturer's data sheet, it speaks Japanese, and the Kansai dialect is also available.
Sharp says it has reduced its diameter to 29.9 cm without losing suction power or mobility.
To avoid obstacles, it uses 3 ultrasonic sensors at the front. The manufacturer says they detect transparent glass and black furniture, which infrared sensors detect poorly.
When its battery drops below 20% during cleaning, it returns to its charging base on its own, according to Sharp.
