What Robot Should iRobot Make Next?

iRobot has really been working hard to make our lives easier. What robot should they make next?

Could it be that iRobot has patented the design for a robotic lawn mower that looks like a large Roomba? Note that not all patents lead to production products. Given that some Lawn mowers can use a perimeter wire while others detect grass… what would iRobot’s use?

If they can bring a robot lawn mower around 800$, that will be a killer. I buy it right now!:cool:

Ahhh my favorite topic (thanks Coleman !). Well, my answer is simple, I bought a iRooma because cleaning the floor is time consuming. Another thing that’s really time consuming is… lawn mower.

Me personally, I would love to see a waste disposal robot. I don’t mind working on my yard, nor cleaning the toilet. But after I get done cleaning around here, I have so much trash that needs to be taken out. And considering that the dumpsters are not that far away, more times than not, I would opt to carry the trash to the dumpsters myself. But if I have so much that it warrants more than one trip or two, then much to my dismay, I would use my car to haul the garbage. Keep in mind, I love walking, but if I do too much repetitive walking, my ankle will start to bother me.

So yes, a waste disposal unit would be awesome!

The toilet cleaning robot sounds interesting. Maybe something similar to the gutter cleaner already, but adapted to a toilet bowl.
