◈ Abstract : Over the past few years, vacuum-cleaning robots have helped out a lot on your daily housework. However, a less advanced automated vacuum cleaner that navigates randomly until it faces an obstacle could not satisfy the customer‘s demand. For this reason, LG has created a new vacuum-cleaning robot  called LG HomBot that uses a unique combination of dual cameras, ultrasonic and infrared sensors to enable faster and more efficient cleaning of a home environment while building an environmental map accurately. In this talk, a summary of the most updated research activities regarding robotics  and computer vision are presented, especially focusing on HomBot.
