Philips R6 Slim robot vacuum and mop arrives with self-cleaning docking station

Thanks to ultrasound technology, the R6 Slim can detect carpets and lift the mops so as not to wet the fibres. The gadget comes with a docking station which can clean the mop to extend its life. The base contains a 4.5 L (~152 fl. oz) fresh water tank and a 5.5 L (~186 fl. oz) dirty water tank, automatically replenishing the onboard tank for a hands-free cleaning experience. 360° LDS LiDAR provides precise navigation and helps the vacuum cleaner to avoid obstacles with an 8 m (~26 ft) detection range. Plus, you can control the gadget via the Philips smart home app.

The robot is only 100 mm (~3.9-in) tall, with a 340 mm (~13.4-in) diameter, and the dock measures 373 x 400 x 455 mm (~14.7 x 15.7 x 17.9-in). You can currently buy the Philips R6 Slim robot vacuum cleaner in China for the discounted price of 3,599 yuan (~US$531); the gadget typically retails for 4,999 yuan (~US$738). It is unclear whether or when the device could be available in other markets.
