South Korean company Hanulkid recently announced the upcoming release of its new robot, 'Steamer' at the 2006 RoboWorld conference in Korea. The floor cleaning robot boasts the ability to both vacuum and steam mop floors. It also has a low noise level and comes with a remote control. It has 80W of cleaning power and runs for 2hrs on single battery charge.

The marketing material for the robot says it, "vacuums off dust after brushing, followed by mopping."

I guess they're trying to roll everyone's favorite Roomba and Scooba into one product. I'm not holding my breath for it to be successful … maybe in Korea, but not here.
