Bangalore-based Farheen tells us how technology takes away all the drudgery of household works, in the weekly column, exclusively in Different Truths.
Remember the times you have cringed thinking about investing your time in completing the domestic chores. Also, remember all those lines you uttered when you realised that you will be the one who will end up completing those chores – I wish, I had a robot. I wish I were shopping and the household chores were getting completed by a genie.
It’s true that the time we spend on household chores can easily be spent on other work.
When you were wishing aloud, somewhere, someone was listening to your wishes and all those wishes have been granted.
Yes, you read it right.

Sweeping, mopping and vacuuming our homes are the daily chores. We have to set aside time for these chores to ensure our homes are free from dust and if we have a pet at home, then their hair needs to be cleaned every day.
Considering that we have limited time in a day, it becomes extremely difficult to attend to these chores. They are time-consuming, tiring and yes, boring.
So, did you pray for the robot vacuums? Some of the robot vacuums, such as Roomba 880, Neato Botvac 80 and Dyson 360 Eye are the robot vacuums that have been voted the best ones in 2017.
What does a robot vacuum do?
A robotic vacuum cleaner is also called robovac. It is an autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner that has been programmed to mop and vacuum clean automatically without human intervention. This is possible because it has intelligent programming that makes it work independently and to clean homes independently.
The Neatos and Dysons use “SLAM” navigation technologies to clean the area efficiently and can return to their charging docks and then pick up where they left off if necessary to clean large areas. To understand how robot vacuums work, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnNr4GlZGQw
