I've seen this robot in action while I was at a friends house in Korea. It is VERY intelligent. Its mapping system is nothing like Roomba's brute force method of going over paths over and over and over until the whole room is vacuumed. This not only wastes time, but also energy (short battery life).
This Samsung robot however, like you see on the videos, does it sequentially. It breaks the rooms into even smaller rooms and goes about its business remembering where it was BEFORE it goes into another room. I was pretty amazed with this capability.
And this isnt Samsung's first robot cleaner. Matter of fact its I believe a 3rd or 4th generation version. The price has come down pretty dramatically as well.
