Robot cleans pool without poles, hoses

TheStar.com - Robot cleans pool without poles, hoses

Another unique feature is a diagnostic computer chip that allows the machine to measure the length, width and shape of the pool — as well as how dirty it is.

Once that's done, it creates a program based on that information to clean that specific pool. "It can't miss any spot because the machine knows what pool it's in," he says.

Two models are available, the Bravo, which costs $2,000 or the Viva, which costs about $2,400 and comes with a hand-held remote control that allows for spot cleaning.
