ok but imagine a roomba thatâs programmed to react positively when being scratched or pettedÂ
#or a roomba thatâs programmed to recognize their owner and drive up to them for no other reason than to be petted
roomba company, please make this happen
I have a Neato Botvac that has an optical sensor to find its way around (Roombas just bump into things and derps off in a random direction) and yesterday it did its âdee-dummmâ sad noise while under the couch, stopped what it was doing, and hummed over to me and stopped beside my chair, with its error message saying, âPlease dust me off so I can see.â I wiped it off and sent it on its way, and it did its âdoo doo do doooo!â of happiness and finished the living room. Itâs never done that before, but I like to think that Iâve gained its trust over the past few months, and it knows it can come to me for help.
