I recently picked up a Roomba and am amazed at how far they have come.
Like many people, I followed the original release of the Roomba robotic vacuum it seemed kind of like a toy at the time. No more. It’s for real.
Right now, my office building spends about $1,600 a month on cleaning. Now, vacuuming isn’t the main thing they do but it is a significant part of what they do. It is tempting to just buy three high end Roombas (one per floor) and let them go and see if we could reduce our cleaning costs.
Roombas, and other devices like it, are the leading edge of the AI-based automation revolution that is starting. If you aren’t scared, you should be. I know I am.
