Flaunting a low profile, this Shark Ion Robot glides easily below furniture to ensure thorough cleaning on any spot. Its brush roll system is equipped with helix-patterned high-tensile bristles that effectively pick up and capture hair, dust, and allergens on carpets and hard floors. The robot also has a self-grooming system that allows the brush roll to manage and untangle strings, fibers, and long hair. When cleaning is done, you can easily detach the dust bin for quick and no-mess emptying.

Although circular in shape, you can count on this robot to clean hard-to-reach edges and corners. It’s all thanks to the two side brushes that continuously spin to make sure that no dirt is left behind. Shark also integrated smart and proximity sensors to the robot to allow it to navigate seamlessly through floors and carpets as well as to avoid surrounding obstacles. And with the included BotBoundary strips, you can set up specific “no-go zones” that you want the robot to stay away from.

Operating the robot is simple. There are control buttons placed on top for on-the-spot cleaning and an easy-to-use remote control if you want to set a recurring cleaning schedule for each day of the week. Shark estimates the RV720 to provide over an hour of cleaning time, and when low on juice, it will automatically return to its dock to recharge.

Prevent daily dirt and hair from piling up on your floors and carpets with the help of a reliable robotic vacuum such as the Shark Ion Dual-Action Robot Vacuum Cleaner RV720. For a sale price of $200 plus a shipping fee of $12, you can take this robot home for only $212. Order yours today on Amazon before stock runs out.

A smart display that pans, watches, and decides.
Apple HomeView feature

Remember the hopping Pixar lamp that famously squashes the letter “I” in the studio logo at the beginning of almost every Pixar movie? Apple may be building something similar, except this Pixar-inspired device won't actually hop or roll around your room. 

Instead, its motorized robotic arm could swivel the screen around (basically moving it left to right, or vice versa, on an axis). According to a new report from The Information, the Cupertino giant is working on a larger, robotic version of its recently-announced HomeView smart display, and it might arrive as soon as next year.

Apple’s recently unveiled HomeView smart display could also function as a home security camera, according to a new finding in its software. The device, which already has a built-in camera for FaceTime calls and facial recognition, could supposedly use the same hardware for motion detection, live streaming, and video recording through HomeKit Secure Video.

The feature was spotted by a Reddit user in the settings files of HomeView Software 27.2 (via TheVerge). Apple hasn’t officially announced anything about it yet, but the references suggest there are going to be a few more uses for the built-in camera.
