Roomba Review: Roombas in Comparison with Usual Vacuums

iRobot is a company which specializes in military robots and general robotic experimentation. They introduced a product called Roomba in 2002. The automatic vacuum cleaner was able to make its way around a room all by itself, scooting under furniture and avoiding obstacles. It was a revolutionary idea in floor cleaning: the little robot was able to learn and remember the layout of the room it vacuumed to maximize its efficiency.
