Robots are already on sale to perform domestic tasks, they can also be purchased by mail. They are manufactured by the company Probotics, with a price of 800 dollars and called Cye. At the moment it is relatively simple and primitive. Previously you have to program by computer the routes that you will perform and the obstacles that you will find on the way, although he can also study his environment to complete the general image.

Once the work area is fixed, a vacuum cleaner can be placed to clean the seats or push the cart of the glasses. Once the task is finished, the recharge of batteries will be discarded. From now on, the Map-N-Zap program will be improved, among other things, to achieve greater robot autonomy.
