Inside a #Roomba #LIDAR unit.
No idea what gen of roomba either.

It has interesting (and sensible) construction.
A short #thread with partial #teardown below.

Do #cats think #Daleks are #roomba's? [sic.]

also spot the #roomba 👀

Oh, Roomba s9+, we sing your praise
Your robotic cleaning ways
You make your home free of dust and dirt
So you no longer have to squirm and squirt
Your record-low price on Amazon
Makes your suction stronger than ever on
So grab one now, and you'll see
The spotless home a Roomba can make

Waiting for the Roomba…

#Amazon’s #iRobot #Roomba #acquisition under formal #EU investigation
Amazon’s $1.7 billion purchase of Roomba manufacturer iRobot announced last August enters a new phase of scrutiny in #Europe. The #EuropeanCommission will make a decision about if it will block the deal by November 15th. https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/6/23628636/eu-regulators-amazon-irobot-roomba-acquisition-investigation

@privacyint As a staunchly anti #Amazon #consumer who purchased an #iRobot #Roomba less than a month before the acquisition was first announced, this investigation is most welcome. #EU #privacy

I'd like a #Roomba-style #Robot that looks for and collects missing household items so I don't have to.

Back when we didn't have things like #Roomba yet (see also: Rodney Brooks), I found it awfully problematic that #AI approaches of the time were deeply dependent on humans to translate reality into concepts before they could be of any use.

#ChatGPT and large language models (#LLM) work entirely in the realm of concepts built by others, and bringing it back into a simplified semi-realworld setup and trying to have it "actuate" there is somehow particularly psychologically appealing to me. :)

#Roomba cleans your home and gives you a sense of security while you're out and about. #press

Po dwoch latach używania #roomba muszę powiedzieć, że nie warto było kupować.

Nie jest bezobsługowy.

Choć mój ma stacje dokującą z workiem na śmieci, to i tak pojemnik na śmieci w samym robocie co chwila się zapycha, sam worek co chwila błędnie sygnalizuje, ze jest juz zapelniony i trzeba go wymienić (wystarczy wyjąć i włożyć ponownie i działa dalej), zdarzało się, że rury w stacji też musiałem przepychać. Nie jakoś mocno zapchane, właściwie zwykla psia sierść w niewielkiej ilości taką zatkała.

Do tego problemy z utknięciem robota na czymś (rozstawiona suszarka do prania potrafi to uczynić), wciąganie różnych dywanów czy zostawionych przez dzieci kartek i klops (dlatego przed każdym użyciem go do sprzątania sam muszę ręcznie posprzątać podłogę i zwinąć jeden dywan, sic)

Robot w opisie też miał inteligente rozpoznawanie kabli. Tak inteligentnie rozpoznał kabel od lampki, że zdarł z niego izolację.

W efekcie opcja "sprzątaj gdy nikogo nie ma w domu" jest w ogóle niemożliwa do użycia, bo w 9 na 10 przypadków robot woła człowieka do pomocy.

When you take your #roomba to the #hackerspace to help clean it, but the boys get too creative...

PS: We're professionals! Do not attempt at home!

Doing some vacuuming. #roomba #vacuum #cleaning

#Roomba のマップ、だんだんと形が歪んてきてる気がする。

Here’s a new one for #InternetOfShit:

I can’t vacuum my house because #Roomba has a major service interruption right now.

My #roomba told me it was stuck near a cliff. In fact, it had attempted to eat one of the cat's toys which had slightly elevated it.

#robotapocalypse averted

#Roomba

From Reddit :

Apparently it is used for debugging but don’t have access to one of those…

#roomba #reverseengineering

I want to connect to my #roomba i3 Evo by serial or other means but I have no idea what I’m looking at. It’s seems like there’s a port to connect a proprietary cart for debugging? I want to connect an #arduino or #raspberrypi to make a #turtlebot.
