    Vacuum cleaning the house will never be the same. Electrolux is now selling a new cleaner that could take the pain out of this dull chore. The Trilobite is a robotic vacuum cleaner that can do all the hoovering for you.

    It uses a technology called acoustic sonar to fire ultrasonic pulses at your furniture so it knows to avoid it while cleaning. Electrolux claims that the Trilobite can vacuum at a speed of 0.4 metres per second. An LCD screen on the cleaner allows you to choose from three pre-set cleaning programs. The battery is charged from the electicity mains.

    Pretty cool! An ingenious idea!

    Here it is. Not very much info there though. Lots of related stories on Google such as this from the BBC.

    [Edit] Ah, there is more info on the press release page

    pffft, why bother.
    any hoover can easily be modded to achieve the same results.
    just upgrade the operating system to woman 2000.
