According to the Ministry of Knowledge Economy of the Korean government, the robot industry is one of the rapidly growing industries in South Korea.

The most widely used service robots are robotic vacuum cleaners. Robot vacuum cleaners were known only among a few early adopters until recently. They are now expanding their consumer base, as the competition in the market has pulled down prices and they are offering diverse functions on top of cleaning.

The Mami Robot is fitted with sensors to enable it to make sure that it can avoid big obstructions. The twin charging station is designed to accommodate the larger Mami Robot stationed and the handheld Zaaloo vacuum cleaner at the same time.
