Mechanical Cleaning Critter

The Scorio Robotic Vacuum Cleaner Looks Alive

— March 6, 2012 — Tech
Designer Anoop M's concept for the Scorio robotic vacuum removes the humdrum of household cleaning by incorporating it into a fun activity. The remote-controlled vacuum allows you to release some stress while cleaning an area from the comfort of a relaxing chair. Two separately controlled claw-shaped brushes make it easy for the Scorio robotic vacuum to clean any hard-to-reach places, while the transparent casing allows you to tell how must dust you've accumulated.

Cleaning doesn't have to be boring, it just so happens that it tends to be a very unfulfilling past time. The Scorio robotic vacuum provides the simple pleasure of remote control steering while simultaneously ensuring that your house is spick and span. It's also a great way to trick your kids into tidying up the house.
