Robotic Green Cleaning Vacuum Cleaner From LG
Recently the tech giant LG presented its new robotic vacuum cleaner dubbed RoboKing. The device is an autonomous vacuum cleaner that features two cameras that make it possible for the integrated computer to analyze the environment and set up the most appropriate cleaning path.
This is not the first robotic vacuum cleaner, with Roomba from iRobot being launched earlier. However, LG claims that its RoboKing is 30 percent more efficient than Roomba and other robotic vacuum cleaners.
The device is powered by Lithium Polymer batteries that can hold five times longer than other batteries used in similar gadgets. In addition, these batteries make the cleaning eco-friendly. RoboKing also includes a HEPA filter along with cyclone dust kit.
One of the most important advantages of this device is the technology that considerably reduces the noise level to 50dB. The device is 3.5-inch high and it can also be controlled using an incorporated joystick or a RF remote that works within a radius of 33 feet, which means you can watch television while watching how the robotic vacuum cleaner does the whole cleaning job.

TRS Chief urges Centre to announce process for Telangana
Telangana Rashtriya Samithi (TRS) President K. Chandrasekhar Rao has asked the Central Government to announce the commencement of the process for carving out a Telangana state by Monday.
Speaking at the Telangana Joint Action Committee meeting here last evening, Rao said: “The Central Government to announce the commencement of process for carving out Telangana state by Monday. If the Centre does not respond to our demand, indefinite shutdown will be called there after.
He also called on Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister K. Rosaiah to step down as he had lost the moral right to continue after resignation of all ministers belonging to the Telangana region. Meanwhile, all 13 ministers from the Telangana region have jointly sent a letter to Congress Party President Sonia Gandhi, appealing to her and the Centre to announce a clear time frame for carving out a Telangana state.
Earlier, cutting across party lines, sixty-one MLAs belonging to the Telangana region submitted their resignations to the Andhra Pradesh Assembly Speaker N Kiran Kumar Reddy in protest against a delay in the process for the formation of the Telangana State. Union Home Minister P Chidambaram had made a brief statement last on Wednesday night saying wide ranging consultations would be held to come out with a final solution on Telangana.
