Robotic vacuum cleaners invading homes
Priyanka Ohri | Aug 10 2009

Robots are going to come and we, the humans will be extinct very soon. Well, it seems so, as today we have robots cooking noodles and doing the cleaning. Consequently, recently Willow Garage designed a prototype PR2 robot capable of performing wide variety of functions in the real environment. Robots look nice in the labs, but they have been invading our homely environments and we do not even know it. You know the remote controlled systems are just a first step to the world of robots. Anyways, I am sure that you are aware of robotic vacuum cleaners and today I will take you over few awesome cleaners, just to remind you that it’s high time to do the cleaning ourselves.
