It was in 2002, just a year after the Electrolux Trilobite and Dyson DC06 had been unveiled, that iRobot would reveal their most successful creation yet: the Roomba. Roomba sold more than a million units in just two years, making it far and away the most successful automated floor cleaning machine of its age. (More than ten million units would sell over the next decade.)

Tellingly, Quartz notes that China and Europe have huge respect for what SpaceX has achieved with Falcon Heavy, and acknowledge that they’re years away from such a feat.
US carrier Verizon has posted photos and video of two of its phone testing rigs that subject hapless smartphones to a combined 100 within a 30-minute time span. While it’s commonly accepted that most devices that take a tumble will probably come away physically worse for wear, Verizon’s durability testing centers around network reliability. The […]
There were a few issues in terms of navigation with this machine, however. It got tripped up on the edge of one carpet in our home testing over and over again that most competitors easily got over. It also got stuck under a couch and required human intervention to get unstuck. It was not even a common place to get stuck, so that was disappointing. Most others in our robot vacuum comparison cleaned under the couch and came right back out. It also got stuck on one of the larger transitions from tile to hardwood flooring. This was, at least, a very common place to get stuck during our testing. Many of the best robot vacuums went right over that threshold, though. The POWERbot got stuck and stayed stuck, again and again. It took human intervention to get this vacuum back to cleaning.
