Samsung Navibot Cornerclean

Editor — Wed, 08 May 2013 10:40:57 +0000

We all dream of the days that technology will do the house cleaning for us. Well Samsung created a robotic floor cleaner for just that purpose. The new Samsung Navibot Cornerclean(Rtba) helps you not only clean your surfaces in your living areas, but integrates pop-out brushes for those deep, hard to reach corners. The bot won’t really crash into anything either as it has an on board 15fps camera that helps it map its terrain so that it can calculate its route.

The NaviBot does not pose a problem to pets or other delicate valuables in a room, as customers are able to specify restricted areas by using a Virtual Guard™ unit which will stop the NaviBot from crossing those set boundaries. The NaviBot is equipped with Cliff Sensor Technology comprising of three smart sensors which detect an approaching drop, allowing it to adjust its path and continue cleaning. The NaviBot can also immediately sense when it is lifted from the ground, and will automatically stop cleaning to ensure no loss of energy.

For added convenience, the consumer can also programme the NaviBot to clean when they want, scheduling it to begin cleaning at a specific time. It can even be set to start when the customer is out of the house. Now this is something I need to add to my household arsenal.

Ever since Felix Baumgatner jumped from 39 kilometres in the sky, the luxury watch brand, Zenith, have seen their popularity skyrocket and it is courtesy of breath taking timepieces like the Zenith Pilot GMT watch pictured above that they have accomplished such a lofty reputation within a highly competitive industry.

This exceptional watch has just been unveiled at this year’s BaselWorld event and it has definitely found favour amongst the luxury watch aficionados in attendance at the event. Zenith timepieces are famed for their robust, aviation style look and feel and the spectacular Pilot watch above is no exception.

Zenith’s stand at the BaselWorld event has been made all the more impressive by the fact that they were joined by the Austrian daredevil himself, Baumgartner, as he showed off the watch he wore as he plummeted to earth late last year – which you can see for yourself below:

Denmark is responsible for some of the most iconic furniture designers of the last 100 years and the name of Poul Volther is definitely a name that can be associated to this list. One of the Danish designer’s most seminal pieces of furniture is unquestionably that of the Corona Chair pictured. Originally designed and released to the public back in 1964, this stunning piece of furniture will add a touch of gravitas to any room you place it in and, despite the unusual design, offers unparalleled levels of comfort.

It is an undeniably striking piece of designer furniture and will serve as the perfect statement piece for a contemporary, modern style property. It boasts a sleek design and, along with the ottoman, offers an excellent place to relax and unwind after a hard day. Volther, along with his contemporaries such as Arne Jacobsen, Charles Eames and Eero Aarnio, served as the driving force behind the modernist movement in furniture design, which really began to take off in the mid-20th century.

A stylish choice of seating for any property, the Poul Volther Corona Chair ticks plenty of boxes from a design and luxury point of view and will make your home stand out from the crowd in 2013.
