If they run over a land mine and blow up, who cares.<br><br>LouSir]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LouSir]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on RoboBusiness show points way to future advances]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/12/robobusiness-show-points-way-to-future-advances/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/12/robobusiness-show-points-way-to-future-advances/</guid><description><![CDATA[Are those Roombas really any good?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[action80]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on RoboBusiness show points way to future advances]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/12/robobusiness-show-points-way-to-future-advances/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/12/robobusiness-show-points-way-to-future-advances/</guid><description><![CDATA[What a peice of crap. The level of commerical robotics R&D going on in the US is abysmal. This is the best we can come up with? Something lame disc-shaped sweeper "robot" with all the technological sophistication of a bump-n-go toy from the 70s? Meanwhile the Japanese are making products like Aibo, soon Qrio. True those cost a lot more, but still...no US company seems to care about the potential of domestic and entertainment robots.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[miss pistola]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on RoboBusiness show points way to future advances]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/12/robobusiness-show-points-way-to-future-advances/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/12/robobusiness-show-points-way-to-future-advances/</guid><description><![CDATA[Do you own one to know what you're talking about?  The Roomba is disc shaped so it can get tough to reach places under your bed and certain furniture.  It's also round so it wouldn't get caught up on various objects that are placed on your floor. I sure wouldn't want my vaccum to look like an Aibo.  Speaking of which, what does that thing do anyway?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wei]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on RoboBusiness show points way to future advances]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/12/robobusiness-show-points-way-to-future-advances/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/12/robobusiness-show-points-way-to-future-advances/</guid><description><![CDATA[yeah Miss Pisola, the Aibo sucks, who needs a robotic dog? Atleast the Roomba does something useful. And the Qrio, also useless.<br><br>by the way, the maker of the Roomba is named IRobot? umm, i didn't hear any lawsuit news between the company and the movie?! Well, that's a good thing, there are enough stupid lawsuits out there. But still..it is surprising that the company is named the same as a movie about evil bots. <br><br>speaking of stupid lawsuits how about Nissan's Q7 lawsuit]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mehool]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on RoboBusiness show points way to future advances]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/12/robobusiness-show-points-way-to-future-advances/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/12/robobusiness-show-points-way-to-future-advances/</guid><description><![CDATA[what happens when our 'robot servant' rebels? will i be able to pull the switch in time?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[norebonomis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on RoboBusiness show points way to future advances]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/12/robobusiness-show-points-way-to-future-advances/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/12/robobusiness-show-points-way-to-future-advances/</guid><description><![CDATA[The Roomba is like letting an eight-year old vacuum.  The quality isn't quite what you would do yourself, but it is quite satisfactory.  Our Roomba does most of the vacumming in our house now, and we often turn it on just as we are going out the door.  Note that you do have to take care to pick up after yourself.  Like a typical eight-year old, Roomba has no qualms about attempting to vacuum up a sock.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Prof. K.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:38AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
