Hamsters power iRobot’s new vacuum cleaner
Posted By: Harsh | Mar 5 2009
Engineers at iRobot have created a prototype vacuum cleaner that is wireless, robotic and has a hamster in a ball. Clearly, the vacuum cleaner was developed to stay as a prototype forever, and more proof comes along when you consider that it uses a series of sensors to follow the speed and direction of the hamster. So it’s cool to watch, fun and all that, but I guess it would have been a lot better if they tried that on Asimo.
