Toshiba has announced the launch of a new robot vacuum cleaner, called the Smarbo, and the company is obviously looking to compete with popular devices like the Roomba and other robot vacuum cleaners, although it looks like this one may be a little more expensive than other offerings.

The Toshiba Smarbo is capable of cleaning a 100sqm room in just 90 minutes, and it comes with 38 individual sensors and two CPU’s, and it will also come with a remote control.

The Smarbo will be available in October and it is expected to retail for around $1,175, which is quite a bit more expensive than the other robot vacuum cleaners available today like the Roomba.
