SK Telecom develops phone-controlled vacuuming robot

Those South Koreans seem tired of high-end 3G services and cool Korea-exclusive handsets, so their major carrier decided to jump-in to other areas such as… vacuuming! Before you jump out of your chair, let me just add that this is somehow connected with mobile phones. You see, SK Telecom (NYSE: SKM) developed a vacuuming robot which can be controlled from a mobile phone. So there you go – while sitting in your chair you press the buttons on your handset and look for your home robot while it scrubs, buffs, and vacuums. But wait, you can also follow all the “behind the scenes action,” as this little fella’ has the camera at its bottom. Yeah, it’s weird – I’m more of a Rumba kind of guy…
