Roomba sweeping robot is a small expert sweeping, full house of gray layer of confetti it helps you clear away minute by minute. Its product profile is this:
The roomba is equipped with a button for regular cleaning time, and the user can set automatic cleaning at any time of the day or week. It can also go along the wall roots, drill down to the bottom of the furniture, so that the dust in these places we usually hard to reach is also being wiped out. Roomba will automatically detect the condition of the floor surface, from the carpet to the hard floor, or from the hard floor to the carpet, it will automatically adjust the sweep mode. After Roomba sweeps a room, the lighthouse virtual wall automatically guides it to another room for cleaning. When the Roomba's battery is about to run out or the task is completed, it will automatically return to the charging station to charge.
When you see this, you must feel that Roomba is a close-knit little angel. But! If the “shovel officers†feel that they are blessed, it would be wrong. Because, when Roomba meets pets, the result will really surprise you.
Recently, Facebook user Jesse Newton told a story that makes people laugh and cry. He not only owns a Roomba sweeping robot, but also has a puppy called Evie. Jesse Newton ordered Roomba to clean up the room at 1:30 a.m. daily, because it would not disturb family activities and rest, and the family could enjoy a clean interior space after getting up. But one night last month, his puppy Evie pulled the stool onto the rug. Jesse Newton then suffered an unprecedented "doomsday crisis": the industrious Roomba robot found the dog on the living room floor. After that, it launched its full-scale cleaning program. Newton wakes up the next morning and is completely shocked by the sight: Roomba leaves a trail of urine in every corner of his room.
Jesse Newton wrote on his Facebook page:
It will appear on the floor, on the furniture legs, on the blankets, on the child's toy box ... as long as it is near the floor, it will be stained with toilet. The sweeping robot took its cool wheels and left a full 25 feet of urine in my room. Then, when your 4-year-old puppy climbed into your bed at 3 am, you still don't know why he smelled like shit. When you enter the living room, you will find Roomba's green light is still on, and you think everything is normal. But when you realize what's going on, you'll quickly wake up in confusion.
Jesse Newton also painted Roomba's "masterpiece."
The readers were sure to feel sorry for Jesse Newton here. However, Roomba manufacturer iRobot is unusually calm. In an interview with The Guardian, iRobot spokesperson said:
This is not the first time such a thing has happened. In fact, we have seen more of this. In general, our approach is to tell users who have pets not to turn on the timer function. Because of animals, everything is possible.
At the same time, iRobot also answered the questions raised by CNET via email:
Most pet owners are grateful for Roomba because it can quickly remove pet hair, but they rarely experience this "poop crisis." In this regard, we will instruct the user not to turn on the timer function without being monitored. However, in order to solve this problem, Roomba may add a special sensor or visual recognition system.
