The iRobot Roomba i7+ is an impressive choice from iRobot’s line of robot vacuums. Roomba was already enough for us to leave sweeping and vacuuming ourselves in the dust, but now it’s practically irresistible. The mapping system can strangely remember only up to 10 floor plans at a time, which you can name either with set names or custom names. We imagine this is both because iRobot isn’t charging users to store their floor plans in its cloud servers and that its servers only have so much space for everyone’s Roomba i7+ maps. Developing the smart maps doesn’t take much time, in the grand scheme of things, the better part of a week. From there, you can tell Roomba to clean specific rooms in your space after you’ve designated those spaces using the iRobot app.

Like the i series, it’s available as a standalone vacuum or in a plus model with the self-emptying dock. And while Angle won’t get into specifics, he also mentions the potential for more subscription services that aren’t tied to cleaning and hardware sales. A robot that could create temperature or humidity maps of a home, for instance, might be useful for other things beyond cleaning.

SWARM is an artificial intelligence research project designed to develop algorithms for swarms of hundreds of individual robots. In recent developments, received FCC approval to move forward with their plans to commercialize a robotic lawn mower capable of using wireless localization technology. Terra uses mapping to navigate and mow the lawn in a straight-line pattern. It uses smart beacon stakes to localize itself in the yard, and is taught a boundary by the user .
