Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

iRobot's Roomba, an already interesting invention, has had a new spin put on it -- or the likes of it -- by the University of Calgary. They've invented a robotic vacuum that interprets an owner's level of stress by way of transmissions from a headband the little cleaners owner will wear. The transmissions from the headband are electronic assessments of muscle tension. If the transmissions indicate that the robotic vac owner is stressed the robotic vacuum will go elsewhere to clean. If everything's okey-dokey, it hangs around.

I wonder if you have to apologize to it later for keeping it from its work. Link follows.
