roomba AI




hi there,

was considering to get a roomba but from this clip (flash link below)
on their site
it appears that the robots movement is similar to a bump n go battery
powered toy car,totally random movements.

it says it covers a given area in a room on *average* 4 times.thats
like a car which drives forward then backward and covers the distance
to work 4 times just to get you to the offic in the morning.mileage x
4

Why wouldnt they choose to make it clean the room in a systematic
fashion? thx
