# Robotic Wet-Dry Vacuums The 'bObsweep' Robotic Vacuum Enables Floor Mopping and More By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-02-12 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floor-mopping References: [thegadgetflow](http://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/bobsweep-robotic-vacuum-and-mop/) & [fancy.to](http://fancy.to/de0o0k) Although the 'bObsweep' [robotic vacuum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-vacuum-technology) may look like a traditional robot that will clean floors of dust and debris, it will also participate in floor mopping for enhanced cleaning capabilities. Packed with a HEPA filter to keep dust and allergens from being pushed back up into the air, the 'bObsweep' also features a UV light to help sanitize without the use of chemicals. The long brush length on the 'bObsweep' enables it to collect more dust and debris quicker, while the [dustpan inside the unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-205-dustcompactor-combo-robot) it purported as the largest in the industry. When it's full or out of battery power, the 'bObsweep' [floor mopping robot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roborock-qrevo-curv-2-flow) will return to the base to await further instruction that can be done so via the included remote control. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Robotic Floor Care:** Opportunity for companies to invest in robotic floor care products, enhancing speed and effectiveness of cleaning processes. - **Multi-functional Cleaning Robots:** Development of multi-functional cleaning robots with capabilities like dusting, mopping, and sanitizing to meet consumers' need for versatile cleaning solutions. - **Smart Home Integration:** Development of cleaning robots with smart home integration, allowing consumers to control their devices using voice commands or mobile applications. ### Who This Affects Most - **Household Appliances:** Opportunity for household appliance companies to invest in robotic technologies for innovative cleaning solutions. - **Facility Management:** Facility management companies can benefit from using robotic floor care solutions that can enhance the speed and efficiency of their cleaning processes. - **Smart Home Technology:** With the increasing trend of smart homes, companies that provide smart home technologies can develop robotic cleaning products that integrate with smart home systems. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automated Low-Maintenance Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-combo-j9.md) - [All-in-One Self-Cleaning Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obode-p8.md) - [Compact Self-Cleaning Robotic Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfcleaning-robotic-vacuum.md) - [Mini Desktop Vacuum Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mopy.md) - [Adaptable Dual-Cleaning Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roborock-qx-revo.md) - [Dual-Cleaning Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-robot-vacuum.md) - [Low-Maintenance Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-vacuum-and-mop.md) - [Cordless Vacuum-Mop Combos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreametech.md) - [Automated Coverage Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-max-705-combo.md)
