It's an interesting discussion, but I am not sure we need to add expressiveness to a Roomba... I suppose it depends on how much time the robot will have an audience? For bots that are intended to interact with people, I can certainly see the value; but lots of them intentionally work when no human is there to see them.
- cookingrobot 7y agoThe old Roomba I had made these really expressive chirps to communicate when it’s was starting, finished etc. If it got stuck on something it would make an apologetic “uh-oh” type of tone, and if it succeeded at something it would play a happy tone. My newer model roomba now uses a really low quality prerecorded voice that says things like “error”. It sucks.
