When I was a wee child I was reading a ton of science fiction books, and robots felt like something human kind would be capable of creating sometime in the future – I was thinking more of 2050, or 2100, not 2015!

Did you know that you can buy robots from Amazon? I didn’t know until today, and it kinda shocked me. I just realized that we live in the future I was reading when I was a child. I’m all giddy now – what will 2020, or 2030 be like?

Technology is growing, some say exponentially, and with this growth more and more people seem to make it a part of their lives. Robots can make daily tasks a thing of the past.

Let’s see how down below!

Floor Mopping Robots iRobot Braava 320

When I call my friends over to my place they always leave the kitchen a complete mess. I swear, there are people that haven’t learned how to eat without dropping half of the food on the floor – and they are almost 30 years old *sigh*. I’m fed up with cleaning every time after them so the floor mopping robot Braava 320 comes in at the perfect time.

It can run on a single charge for about three hours and you can fit it with either a damp cloth, or a dry one – Braava has its own designed cloth with microfiber, but to be honest, anything will do. It can clean all hardwood surfaces including vinyl, hardwood and laminate.

Braava’s iRobot line has seen some tough places. Their military products are used by the US army in combat, and to protect themselves from danger. You won’t need to worry about enemies taking your house in a blitz play, because the Braava 320 will give its cogs and plastic for you! No, seriously, it won’t help you from house invaders, so get an alarm or a dog.

Anyway, it’s built with NorthStar Navigation System – an indoor GPS mechanism that tracks everything it has already cleaned, and it organizes itself where to go next. It marks walls, obstacles, and other things so each time it learns to clean the place faster, and better – I don’t like robots that are learning by themselves they scare me!

You can buy it on Amazon for $200!

Vacuum Cleaning Robots iRobot Roomba 880 for Pets and Allergies

An ex-roommate of mine had a serious problems with pets. He loved them with all his heart, but Jimmy had some nasty allergies to their fur or something like that. At one point he started sneezing and scratching himself while we were watching Rick and Morty on TV. I thought it was a gag he was trying to make, but he was in distress.

Now, if we had the Roomba 880 maybe he didn’t have to move out and take his sweet PS4 with him – that was his only redeeming quality.

Anyway, the Roomba 880 can be your cleaning buddy. It uses AeroForce Performance Cleaning. Big words, I know. Their system cleans, and traps allergens, and it’s highly efficient doing this too – it features HEPA filters.

HEPA filters, or high-efficiency particulate arrestance, is a type of air filter. I’m not going to get into the science that stands behind them. What you need to know is that they are really top notch, and those who suffer from random allergies should try to look into them and see how one can incorporate them in their day to day life.

Its navigation system, the Virtual Wall Lighthouse ensures that the Roomba 880 stays in one room, and cleans it until you can even eat off the floor.

You can buy it on Amazon for $700!

Self Cleaning Litter Box Robots Litter Robot LRII

I have a sweet little kitty cat that I take care of every day – mostly because my new cat overlord forces me to, but that’s a story for another time.

Sometimes I have to work late at the office, go grab a quick bite to eat, and get home only to shower, and sleep. There’s not much free time in my life any more. I still feed Bruno – I’m not a monster. I make time for that regardless of how busy my schedule is. But I really can’t make time to clean his litter box every time it starts to stink – last time I thought a sewage pipe erupted in the building, but no, it was from the bathroom.

This is were the Litter Robot LRII swoops in and saves the day – and my nose. It automatically cleans the litter box and it deposits the mess in its built-in large capacity drawer – you can set it up with a trash bag.

It doesn’t have any wires, or cables so you don’t need to worry about your cat chewing on them.

How much do you love your cat? Enough to pay $370? Yup, that’s how much it costs.

Robot Kits WowWee RoboMe

This one doesn’t do anything fancy – it won’t help you with anything in your house. It’s just an iPhone-powered robot that its owner can control it using voice commands. You can customize WowWee to track your face, and follow you around the house.

It can be used only with an iPhone, or an iPod Touch.

WowWee RoboMe costs about $130!

Robot Kits WowWee MiP Robot RC

It can interact with you using sounds, motion and its RGB LED eyes. It’s really intriguing, and the MiP Robot is really responsive.

It’s so fun when you see it follow your hand gestures. WowWee’s product can follow you around the house using his, oups, its unique two wheels balancing system.

WowWee MiP Robot costs about $100!

We’ve got one more robot for you to discover. It may be out of your price range. I know it’s out of mine’s.

The Kuratas Robot

I thought of adding this one just for giggles. It’s available only on Amazon Japan and it costs about, oh well, $1 million!

Yup, a million dollar robot. It’s fully functional, and it’s pretty darn huge – it’s actually a rideable mech robot! It stands at 3.8 meters tall, that is 12.5 feet, and it weighs 5 tons. This is Kogoro Kuratas baby – a Japanese blacksmith that developed this ender of lives for several years.

Why ender of lives? Well, it has a BB gun incorporated that can fire 6,000 rounds per minute.

If you plan on buying it don’t expect any Amazon Prime discounts, and you should know that it doesn’t come paired with arms – they are being sold separately. You actually don’t even need them. Even without Kuratas’ arms you’ll still be able to inspire fear and dread in your neighbours.
