Robotic Alarm Clock & Vacuum
Designer Jeongmi Lee from Seoul has created a robotic vacuum cleaner that doubles as an alarm clock.
The alarm clock sits on the floor and is attached to your blanket by a string. When the alarm goes off, the robot moves and pulls the blanket off of you.
The robot also poops, which is it’s way of removing the cleaning filter. Some really neat ideas here, but I wonder how good the vacuuming is.

Robotic Vacuum
The latest in robotic vacuum design from Yanko Design and the 2010 Electolux Design Lab competition. The Instinct by Berty Bhuruth. It almost looks like something from Star Wars or a robotic dog.
Berty Bhuruth’s robotic vacuum cleaner concept is a response to a future where people will have less time and less space to store things, making efficient cleaning a problem. The Instinct Vacuum cleaner, a robotic, four-legged device that adapts to its environment, allows it to clean in even the messiest of places. The Instinct chooses the path of less cleaning resistance by consulting 3d models of the room it creates before tackling its task.
