RE: Yet another robot vac...



Good point.
How about:  forget the robo vacs completely.  What if you had a special open sided bin in the corner of the room with a very HIGH static charge.  Then all the dust would fly towards that as it is created and stick to the back wall of the bin and when there is enough of a build up, you carry the bin to your wheelie bin or whatever and turn off the static charge so you can empty the bin.
 
Of course, this will not work with spilled milk/food thrown by toddlers etc.....
Mind you, robovac would need to distinguish between dirt and part of small toy that toddler just disassembled (aka smashed off the floor)  so you don't end up with a lot of missing parts and some very unhappyn kids :-/
 
Guess we'll be sticking to a manual vac and SWMBO's well trained eyes for a while: -(

Hmm. Visions of tripping over a handful of vacbots as they compete for a sunny spot on the carpet. Either that or an expensive fight with the dog as they 'decide' who gets to sit in the sunny spot. I also have visions of getting no work done at all as I sit mesmerised watching little vacbots run around the floor of my office :-)

LOL....
 
- When they get "power low", they scan for a bright area of floor, then head there and wait till they are recharged
