About Robot Cleaners in General and the Mint Cleaner in Specific

Evolution Robotics has announced that the Mint Automatic Cleaner is now available for pre-order in the United States.

Hello!

Since our debut at CES 2010, the buzz about Mint has been growing! CNET, PC Magazine, Fox Business News and many others have been talking about us. And Mint was just featured on the TODAY show! You can watch the video and check out the latest stories and reviews on our website.

In fact, the response has been so overwhelming, we decided to make Mint available for pre-order. All it takes is a $20 deposit to reserve one of the first Mint Automatic Floor Cleaners. Visit our site for details and to submit your reservation form.

Thanks for following our progress! We hope you’re as excited about Mint’s arrival as we are. And if you’ve got comments or suggestions – please let us know. We’d love to hear from you.

Cheers,

The Mint Team

P.S. Coming soon: Mint cleans Martha’s floors. Tune in to the Martha Stewart Show on February 24th to see it live.

This video shows how the the Mint automatic floor cleaner is smart. It uses a NorthStar beacon to track its progress around a room so that it won’t miss any spots while it is sweeping a room. Because it uses navigation technology, it cleans floors in a methodical, systematic way which is very efficient.

Designed into the robot is “perfect edge technology”. The Mint robot uses this to find edges and follow them in such a way that it won’t miss corners. It picks up dirt that gets pushed into edges. The Mint automatic cleaner comes equipped with a bunch of sensors to help it navigate. These help the cleaner avoid area rugs and carpets, and will also keep the robot from driving off of steps or down the stairs.
