The POWERbot is Samsung’s newest, and by far its most powerful, robotic vacuum cleaner. It’s not exactly small, but it’s far more compact than any full-size canister or upright Dyson or Miele or similar. Although the company has one upright listed on its size, robots are Samsung’s specialty, and the $1499 POWERbot VR900 is its best autonomous vacuum cleaner yet. Its defining feature is a revamped digital motor undefined 60 times the suction of “conventional” ‘bots undefined and a cyclonic design that promises no loss of suction as the dust collector fills up.

The majority of the POWERbot’s chassis is taken up by that central, cylindrical vacuum motor and dust bin. Behind that in the VR9000′s circular body is the 60-minute battery pack, and ahead of it is its front-mounted array of sensors and circuitry, including a novel upward-and-forward-facing digital camera sensor for room and roof mapping and forward-firing ultrasonic sensors for obstacle tracking and avoidance.
