2022 FIFA World Cup Floating Hotels

Construction on the 80,000-seat Lusail Iconic Stadium is already under way for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Now, Qatar needs a way to accommodate the masses of fans that are expected to invade the Arab country. As a solution, Finnish company Admares has devised a series of floating hotels that aren't just useful, but also sustainable. The 16 structures will sit on the surface of the Persian Gulf off the coast of Qetaifan Island North, just 15 minutes from the stadium. Measuring in at 236-feet-long and 52-feet-wide, each four-story building will house 101 guest rooms along with a restaurant and lounge bar. Once the trophy is awarded, the buoyant hotels can be moved to another coastal location and reused for future events.

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra Robot Vacuum + Mop

With the S8 MaxV Ultra, Roborock ensures every inch of your house is clean. The new model features a Flexi Arm Design with an extendable side brush that reaches into corners, while an Extra Edge Mopping System cleans along edges. A Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition uses a 3D structured light and an RGB camera to identify and avoid obstacles in its path, and a PreciSense LiDAR navigation system scans rooms to create a map and determine the most efficient route. It upgrades suction power to 10,000Pa to pick up even more dust and dirt, a Carpet+ Boost System ups the hair pick-up rate by 30%, and the mopping system scrubs floors 4,000 times per second, detecting carpets and rugs along the way. With built-in voice assistance, users can start cleaning with a simple command, and when the job is done, the vacuum will retreat to its dock to automatically empty, wash, dry, and recharge itself. The S8 MaxV Ultra will be available April 22, 2024, and for a limited time, get a triple gift pack valued at $1,000 with your purchase.
