Somewhere out there there is probably someone who made a water resistant charging station with solar power and a roomba that goes and vacuums their tennis court or whatever. Hell they have the solar outdoor chargers for the automated lawnmowers so I'm sure they could modify one of those.
It was also pretty disgusting to clean. Always a mess of wet gunky hair in the brush and dirty water bin. It sadly didn’t clean super well but was better than not cleaning.
I don't like the urge to anthropomorphize these small, mobile robots.
"Poor little guy."
These things are increasingly being used to spy on us, not just vacuum cleaners, but the delivery robots, too. They aren't cute, they're intrusive and threatening. I have no sympathy or fuzzy feelings for them. Better to see them for what they are.
You gotta clean your floors, you gotta clean your forests... Many, many years of leaves and broken trees, and they’re like, like, so flammable, you touch them and it goes up.
In fact there are many tiny little automated roomba's roaming around, cleaning up nature as we speak.
And not only are they fully autonomous, they also get their energy by burning the stuff they vacuum up. So you don't even have to charge them!
You'd think that you can only get these crazy little machines by buying into the monopoly of some insane fascist trillionaire, but no! They multiply themselves! You don't have to do anything for it!
my 7 series maps completely via front facing camera, no lidar. It was a bumper so it knows when it's actually touching the thing, but it already knows, it's just donfirmation.

Oh thank goodness it's made it through the night out there. I hear nature abhors a vacuum
This is what I'm on lemmy for.
There are many a cat/dog you could name nature and this statement would still hold.
Is it scared of fireworks?
Roomba: “This living room is HUGE!”
if that would be real i wonder if it would map the entire park

sure it's possible, just the story sounds made up for Internet points
This Roomba:
This is why you microchip your roombas people!
I thought roomba was a type of dance
Nah, that's the rumba. This poor little guy is a rhombus.
No that's a geometric shape, this is a roomie.
No, that's a type of person. This is a ruble.
Nope, that's a currency. This is Rumi
Nope, that's something I had to google. This is ram
nope, thats computer memory, this is rum
That’s a scooba. Rare obscure product no one bought. It had a water tank and scrubbed your floor while vacuuming up the dirty water.
I remember these. Felt kind of weird putting water into an electric vacuum.

But mine has googly eyes
Like this?
biblically accurate roomba
That's... Amazing.... I think I need an emergency trip tot he craft store now...
No fuzzy feelings for fuzzy logic?
To be honest, nature hasn't had a proper clean-up since like forever. It's about time we sent a couple of roomba's around.

Nature has a way of dealing with that from time to time. Several ways, in fact.

We are so lucky.
Detritivores are pretty cool.
My robot vac likes to imagine that there are ghost dimensions behind my couch instead of walls. Maybe it was right and teleported?
If you're cold, he's cold. Please, take your Roomba inside tonight.
It must be so scared :(
One of the touch-and-go? About half a hour battery, bumping into things for navigation, can't be far.
Hey it just like me

The Brave Little Roomba went looking for the master.
That damn cat always parks their Roomba here lolz
