Samsung’s Amazon Echo-linked Powerbot VR7000 can FINALLY save you from one very boring household task

SAMSUNG has unveiled a robotic cleaning machine which might just save us all from the horror of hoovering.

The South Korean firm's incredible new automatic gizmo can connect to Amazon's voice-controlled Echo, allowing lazy human owners to boss it around without having to tear themselves away from the sofa.

Samsung is expected to show off its Powerbot VR7000 clean machine at the upcoming CES tech show, which will be held during January 2017.

The tech company said its new device is "aimed squarely at consumers who demand better automated cleaning".

“The Powerbot VR7000 keeps up with the floor care needs of today’s busy families,” said Byung-Sam Seo, president of home appliances at Samsung Electronics.

“Just set it and watch it go to work. The Powerbot VR7000's navigational features and sensors combined with slim design and increased suction power help make sure the job gets done.”

The robotic hoover is designed to speed around the home, cleaning up behind its human owner.

It has a massive 11 inch brush and is designed so it can get up close to walls and under beds or tables to make sure it captures every last speck of dust.

The vacuum-bot is also fitted with artificial intelligence which allows it to remember the contours of a room and steer itself towards dirty areas of the floor.

The device will adjust its suction power as it moves from carpet to hard floor and can also be controlled by an app.

But we're sure Amazon Echo owners will take a great deal of pleasure in bossing the gadget about using voice commands.

However, we don't yet know what phrases the gadget will respond or how much it will cost, but it looks like it will be released at some point next year.

The hi-tech hoover is likely to be the first of many voice-controlled domestic droids to hit the market in coming years.

Whilst you might like the sound of a world where smart machine perform all the tasks us humans can't be bothered doing, you might want to spare a thought for the millions or potentially billions of people set to be put out of work by the march of the robots.
