That is only common sense.  It needs a floor map, so it doesn't pick up knick-knacks, and sleeping pets.  Carrying a Roomba is so rediculously obvious I'm surprised we even comment on that.  I'm sure if you live in a single floor ranch home or an apt with the washer/dryer installed, the bot can be programmed to pick up your dirty clothes after playing with that "love doll" thing (ewww.) and drop them in for a cycle.  Folding would require something more than a padded set of claws.<br><br>I'm guessing the designers are going from room to room and programming and debugging.  Will it make beds?  It all depends if you put your "love doll" away  I have to agree, though, it needs to be at least a little faster. If it's in a doorway and you need to get through, you could read a book waiting for it to clear.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joseph A Nickence]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 26th 2008 12:36AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
