It beats manual, but I agree, it seems so much of the battery use could be better served. I would think there would be a robot where you attach a stick to it and walk it through the path you would take to vacuum the room. Then you can save paths and the robot will just run through each path as saved.
- moe 9y agoSmarter robots have existed for a long time (e.g. the Neato or the high-end Roomba model). They create a map of your place and then clean it systematically instead of randomly like the cheaper Roombas. This is obviously much faster, but also less thorough (lower number of passes over any given spot) and less robust (navigation easily gets confused by sunlight, dirty sensors, room changes, etc.).
