won't use one until someone includes a deep-learning image recognition module to stop it spreading a track of cat shit all over the room

- walrus01 10y agoI read a truly disturbing story last month involving a roomba, a puppy, diarrhea and a light beige carpet. Imagine 8 hours of unattended shit smearing.
- tinix 10y agoYep, we still ran our robot vacuum at a previous house even though it was hard wood floor (helps with pet dander and such) and there were definitely a few incidences of it running over cat throw up while we weren't home. The brushes actually clean it up rather well, but it still gets all over the vacuum, and leaves wet throw-up streaks all over the floor, it's horrible... but not as bad as diarrhea, and carpet.... good god.
- tinix 10y agoDoes your cat poop randomly everywhere? Or in one area? We had a Neato and it came with magnetic boundary tape, which worked rather well. I believe other brands have a similar concept with IR beams and such, which aren't as nice as the magnetic boundaries.
- mulletbum 10y agoI think he wanted it to clean up around the cat litter box, which I would say is not a smart endeavor when you are confirming there isn't soft shit laying around said box. Just as you said too, roombas come with an Infrared wall, basically to make a barrier between something. They also have a "hub" you can by, which if you sat between feeding bowls puts a ring around them the roomba wont cross.
