Samsung's Tango robot vacuum uses cameras to clean your floors, duvet covers

Just because a Samsung vacbot never cleaned your floors doesn't mean they're not out there somewhere, attacking dust on hardwood and carpet -- and apparently Egyptian cotton too if the above picture is anything to go by. This Tango is the latest from the company, following in the tracks of the Furot and Hauzen and sharing their dual spinny brush design. Tango is said to use a 30fps camera to tell where he's going, a gyro to keep a sense of direction, and crash sensors that now can detect furniture and feet from up to 2cm away. Prices will range from ₩500,000 to ₩700,000 and, though that equates to between $425 and $600 American, the stores these will be available in probably won't take dollars.

best. ad. ever.

[From My Cube Posted Nov 5th 2009 9:30AM]

I dont get it, where is the handle so she can push this thing around the house?

[Icepop4who Posted Nov 5th 2009 10:09AM]

The cameras are obviously designed to look up her skirt. Genius.

[Rick James Posted Nov 5th 2009 10:43AM]

@icepop4who

I concur wholeheartedly. I'm surprised it took a company like Samsung to tap into the Asian upskirt fetish market. If only they could tap into the Asian super soaker bukkake fetish somehow...

[va jj Posted Nov 5th 2009 12:20PM]

most phones from asia you cannot disable the shutter sound on phones and camera's because of this so called upskirt problem but nothing a hacked firmware can't make the shutter sound slient though.

[funnybear Posted Nov 5th 2009 2:14PM]

Two more shots of her.

I think a lot of hackers with foot fetishes are drooling right now.

Mmm, japanese girl feet...

ITS A TRAP!


The 30fps cameras on a cleaning robot I mean, not the girl.

[gp Posted Nov 5th 2009 12:17PM]

The only creepy aspect is that people can't tell the difference between lens distortion and freakishly large feet.

[Engadgeter Posted Nov 5th 2009 8:18AM]

Samsung always seems to find the creepiest women.....

[anantha92 Posted Nov 5th 2009 8:25AM]

Uh, how is she creepy? She's cute with a short skirt, what more can you want?

[DoomSwitch Posted Nov 5th 2009 10:49AM]

Nope, She's Creepy

[theswiss Posted Nov 5th 2009 9:11AM]

dude get some glasses, she's definitely cute

[antriver Posted Nov 5th 2009 9:32AM]

She's not creepy, she's hot http://amirite.net ?

[magallanes Posted Nov 5th 2009 10:06AM]

may be she is a bit creepy if you are a "bit" racist.

Im glad that i am not racist. ^_________________________^

[Dalhectar Posted Nov 5th 2009 11:50AM]

The only creepy aspect is that people can't tell the difference between an adult model and a child. This chick's legal in every country but Saudi Arabia. And the only reason she's not legal there is because some corrupt police officer wants to inspect the goods.

[BeniRose Posted Nov 5th 2009 11:58AM]

I dunno, she has some freakishly large feet. And you know what they say about girls with big feet...big robot vacuums.

[Gordon Posted Nov 5th 2009 4:20PM]

Beni, it's called a wide angle lens.

[PeterFnet Posted Nov 5th 2009 8:19AM]

Creepy? Doubt they thought that.

Cute lady, with short skirt, on a bed, with electronics.

Pretty sure it was a good idea to post it on this blog.

[crapbag Posted Nov 5th 2009 9:12AM]

i don't normally refer to 13 year-olds as "lady", but ok.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2009 9:23AM]

@a

I highly doubt that she is 13.

[crapbag Posted Nov 5th 2009 9:27AM]

what possible visual evidence could you have for claiming that? just out of curiosity

[PeterFnet Posted Nov 5th 2009 9:30AM]

@a
Aren't you arguing with yourself also?

[anantha92 Posted Nov 5th 2009 9:46AM]

She is not 13, she is over 19 for sure. I live in Asia, i should know. 13 year-olds look a lot younger than she does.

[PeterFnet Posted Nov 5th 2009 9:52AM]

I could care less about your dating habits. But if you're going to argue with someone who thinks she is older, and your argument is,"what possible visual evidence could you have for claiming that?".
Well what possible visual evidence could you have for claiming that she is 13?
Clear enough?

[TikiTeko Posted Nov 5th 2009 9:55AM]

Hey, it is not her fault her genes make her look good... I am sure Samsung won't hire underage models....

[crapbag Posted Nov 5th 2009 9:56AM]

uh no problem. all of her body is obscured by baggy clothes except her face and legs and feet. her feet are disproportionate to her body and she has the face of a child anywhere between 9 and 14. i can pick 10 random 21 year old asian women off the street here around nyu and they look nowhere near 13.

[crapbag Posted Nov 5th 2009 9:59AM]

i'm sure there are plenty of samsung ads with children in them. nothing wrong with that. only problem is if you're an adult and you're attracted to them.

[Andir Posted Nov 5th 2009 10:13AM]

"only problem is if you're an adult and you're attracted to them."

Technically, it's only a problem if you act on it... You can be attracted to a lot of things. Take a car for example. You can be attracted to a car because it has nice looks, but if you start having sex with your car, then you have a problem.

You've taken it too far though. You are trying to project your moral standing on pedophilia toward a thought process. We are all human. It's the laws we live under that make us civil. You ARE allowed to find people attractive no matter what age. However, if you are not civil enough to understand that you could be harming that person by acting upon that urge, then you are a detriment to society.

[crapbag Posted Nov 5th 2009 10:24AM]

that's actually true. and i agree, it's ok for you to think about whatever you want silently. but sharing it openly as though it's normal and ok is dangerous, in that others can misinterpret that as condoning inappropriate behavior. i.e. acting upon it.

[nowayman Posted Nov 5th 2009 10:42AM]

a's comments are such a turn off, make them disappear people!

[crapbag Posted Nov 5th 2009 10:54AM]

good, put your pants back on.

[Andir Posted Nov 5th 2009 11:08AM]

You've never said: "You look cute/nice/good today" to anyone under 18? That's the exact same thing. You are expressing your approval of their appearance and attractiveness openly.

[Wwhat Posted Nov 5th 2009 12:13PM]

Perhaps they should use greyhaired models for some idiots here, but please, on their own site

Your a dumbas... Your just an ignorant prick. No way she is underaged, you simply don't understand anything asian do you? I am asian, live in asia most of my life and to me she looks like someone in her twenties.

You probably have spent your life entire dating amish women...

[rrl Posted Nov 5th 2009 2:05PM]

She's legal:

[dsilvers Posted Nov 5th 2009 8:37AM]

all night long.

yes, that's right, she will last all night long.

[(Unverified) Posted Nov 5th 2009 11:27PM]

But wait theres more, order now and get the shiny black thing on the bed

[TikiTeko Posted Nov 5th 2009 8:26AM]

Nothing like the Saturday Night Live "Woomba" from the creators of Roomba. A little round pink robot to clean your lady business and keep them fresh. :D

[tommychan123hotmailcom Posted Nov 5th 2009 8:32AM]

30fps camera eh? Does it come with sd card slot for recording video?

[TikiTeko Posted Nov 5th 2009 8:48AM]

and also an MP3 player to roll your fave jams while you clean...


All my unclean pass inside my Tango very rapidly...
There ain't dust in the wind, nothing is dust in the wind

It also has a USB port with an Easy-Upload tool to YouTube so that you can create awesome viral videos about your carpet cleaning.

TANGO PWNS DUST MITES!!!

[yode Posted Nov 5th 2009 8:35AM]

her feet look rather large and manly, other wise she's cute.
