Dyson makes futuristic hand dryers, room fans, and vacuum cleaners. Except its vacuum cleaners haven’t been that futuristic for a while, neon styling and thoughtful design aside — the British company has so far avoided releasing a Roomba-style robot vacuum, saying that the technology just isn’t there to make a good product. All that changes today with the announcement of the Dyson 360 Eye, a robot vacuum that the company says took 16 years and close to $47 million to research and develop. “Most robotic vacuum cleaners don’t see their environment, have little suction, and don’t clean properly,” says James Dyson, the inventor that founded the company.
