Xiaomi is known in India for making great smartphones but the company also has a burgeoning lifestyle category with products meant for homes and personal care. 

The company has now launched the Mi Vacuum-Mop P that basically cleans your home for you by using a laser detecting system.

The detecting system basically uses sensors to identify objects around the house while cleaning the surface. 

The Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P can vacuum and even mop the floor at the same time. The product will be one of Indiaâs first autonomous robovacs and will be available in India for Rs 17, 999 at a special discount of Rs 7, 000 with no-cost EMI starting Rs 2,999 per month. 

There are a total of 12 sets of sensors that help the autonomous vacuum cleaner to accurately detect its surroundings and works in tandem with an infra-red sensor. 

The vacuum cleaner is also able to detect stairs, walls, furniture and other obstacles preventing it from getting damaged.

The Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P can clean for up to 110 minutes on a single charge and can clean a surface area of 180-square-meters. When the battery on the autonomous robovac reaches low levels, it automatically goes back to the charging dock to get extra juice. 

The robot vacuum cleaner is already available for crowd-funding on mi.com with additional information on the product.
