Artificial Intelligence vs. artificial Renitenz

I bought the LG because it was highlighted in the reviews its artificial intelligence (AI). I have him baptized by my bygone midlife crisis Moni so much fun must be.
The AI ​​has interested me, and I was not disappointed them in fact. Unexpectedly enough, came Moni virtually easily cope with my difficult fast messie apartment. Socks lying around they umwieselt brilliantly, all empty beer bottles are still standing. Nevertheless, LG has me, as intended by purchasing, motivated to a little more okay because it's fun, free to clear the greatest possible surface portions and to be cleaned. He does this to my complete satisfaction after about three inserts has reached ere on my Kurzflorauslegeware a kind of general basic purity up in corners and edge column, as I have so far never managed to the vacuum cleaner due to lack of patience. A little long pile Gabbeh with side fringe makes no problems. Impressive how much dust there is in the tank after cleaning. What the LG understandably copes less, are slightly larger objects, like candy wrappers or the like. This jammed his brush, and he appeals to my brood care instinct, asking me to look after his brush. If the room is but freed himself from such cases, virtually one need not have to worry about him.

The Koreans are already a cute little people: One half is trying to make yourself understood with atomic bombs, medium-range missiles and Animationsfilmchen about the destruction of Washington and the other half with sentences like: If no change, even with the Hom-Bot 2.0 linked to the charging station, press for 3 seconds, the reset switch on the back of the charging station while -Allow the Hom-Bot 2.0 remain linked to the charging station. In short, if the HomBot 2.0 is an example of successful AI is apparently partly machine translation into German of the manual that can go wrong.

In general: If you nowadays At length, a product on the current state of AI for relatively affordable around 500, of course you should not naively the status of Enterprise - expect the next century. Some observed actions of Moni were already described as bizarre. Thus, the LG hilarious unreasonably prolonged under the bed (probably because since the space recognition based navigation for lack of camera view switches to a random algorithm, and he wants to make sure, but really to catch everything .. Also in the search for the charging station it takes inexplicable detour to remote room regions and remembers clearly not a covered hand control of time (for example, for elective cleaning a floor region by Spiral mode - for the return trip (which was supposed to be programmatically not be the problem)

Even my passage kitchen I had to make him only (by exposing the vile unknown) unknown until he was ready they almost completely clean. Then he must have previously someone explains the concept through room wrong. Or no idea what he thought.

Only once is Moni completely crashed under the chair and was only after switching on and off again willing to work.

Incomprehensible why the timer function is a delay code to the beginning of cleaning, but not the default, for example, a weekly program (as with any cheap Heizungsthermostat machines integrated). So a useful feature would surely be integrated with little effort. Or such possibilities were sacrificed to the pursuit of a foolproof Simplest operating concept?,

One criticism is also why the key symbols are printed so low in contrast to the body that they are not reflected in normal lighting due to the reflective surface. (Remedy small Schnipselchen red reflective tape)

The non-plastic justice engineered closure of the cover works even unwilling (and hopefully will not break as fast as feared). That Koreans actually can, but you can see on the neat and ergonomically designed dust collector. And what is looking a reset Schaler calculated on the power supply?

Evil is also the unstructured Support on the LG website. For example, I found the parts actually offered there after an eternity, a problem which obviously also hit other LG customers.

But oh well, somehow the deficiencies have then also its good side. This makes hopefully the difference between East Asian and German products, so that our export superiority can be maintained for a few years if you can get his doubts about the German Engineering in the face by breaking trams and Supergaus in ICE-loo so.

But who can deal with the problems that will have his joy and fun at HomBot2.0. I hope he keeps some time.

Update Ene April 2013 after about a month. Is still very reliable and satisfied the playfulness of the child in the man continued. A little tip: Especially good cleaning results and a certain freshness I have achieved by I (to dry) before Monis Start frugal carpet cleaning powder was incorporated with the scrubber in the Kurzflorauslegeware about 2 hours. Spray goes, but is more expensive.
Update 10/13: "Moni" still works perfectly, although I understand some "funny business" of the software is not quite. The battery power is still fully there.
