I worked on this product back in 2002-2005. I developed the initial wheel system for this form factor of product and early prototypes of their digital motor once we realised we'd need a very high power density compressor motor. Sadly the battery technology has taken a long time to get to the point where it can now give a useable run time, even when the vacuum only consumes 100W. Also the prices of other components, high power embedded CPUs, cameras and sensors have reduced dramatically since then. It uses an intelligent algorithm to maximise the potential of the runtime, meaning that it tries to elminiate running over the same patch of floor more than once. This is what it uses the 360 camera for and SLAM image processing that I still don't fully understand :) The chap with grey hair switching it off at the end of the teaser video is the brains behind all the navigation and image processing software, Mike Aldred, a very clever guy.<p>[edit] missed a word
