Taiwan’s ASUS is planning to release an automated robotic vacuum cleaner, similar to the famous Roomba from iRobot. The ASUS ECleaner will first be offered in China and Taiwan. While the ECleaner appears very similar to the Roomba, it has a few key features that make it stand ahead of the Roomba.

The ECleaner will work like the Roomba, by using a mathematical algorithm and a ’surveying’ phase to determine the dimensions of the room you want it to clean.
