Robotic vacuum cleaner Iclebo

It turns out that the government of South Korea has developed and adopted a plan, according to which, by 2015, at least one robot equipped with a network connection should appear in every South Korean house. It seems that such plans are quite real. Cleaning robots equipped with a vacuum cleaner and sensors that allow them to determine their position in space are no longer such a rarity. But the “iron friend of man” developed by KTF and Yujin Robot will combine two “professions”, which is currently unique. Received the name Iclebo, the new robot will be both a cleaner and a security guard.

To perform the first function Iclebo is equipped with a vacuum cleaner. As for security, the robot is equipped with microphones and a camera to detect intruders. If a “superfluous” person is found in the house, the robot will send a signal to the host’s cell phone. In addition, Iclebo may intimidate a thief by beeping.

I really do not know how useful the robot will be as a guard. Still, no one will be able to scare a piece of iron, and the alarm system can handle the intrusion alert functions. Is that the beauty of such a guard in its autonomy: disable it along with the whole house from the attackers will not work.
