Roomba Perfectly Maps Outline Of Lazy Obstacle That Refused To Move While It Cleaned

by Lakeisha

Those who have vacuum robots know how convenient these little plastic cleaners are. One of their niftiest features is that they map the house for obstacles and help you keep the place clean.

Having said that, vacuum cleaners are still just AI, not you or I. This means that they can't really move our couches or sweep under tables they can't fit.

When it comes to vacuum cleaners that are automatic, like the Roomba, for instance, it's a "take it or leave it" situation. Because we either don't have the time or the interest to sweep and mop every day, we end up taking it.

I still remember the first time I laid eyes on the Roomba and felt my back and my knees singing in unison the song we all know too well. It starts with "take my money, I want this..."

Anyhow, this post isn't about my love for vacuum robots, but this lazy obstacle's determination not to move! Like I said earlier, a vacuum robot doesn't know the difference between a sleeping human and a box.

It treats everything and everyone as equal, which is a great human quality, but whatever. Meet Acacia Carman-Hauri and her family, who have Roomba as their personal cleaner.

Roomba Meets Lazy Obstacle

One day, while mapping out the house to begin the cleanup job, Roomba came across a lazy obstacle that was determined not to move.

Roomba being Roomba, it mapped out the obstacle and notified the family through the app, letting them know that one particular obstacle was difficult for it to deal with.

When the family saw the outline that looked oddly familiar, they knew that particular obstacle was most likely furry, had a goofy grin, and had unconditional love for his family.

Roomba Informs Family About The Obstacle Via Notification Alert

Roomba, on the other hand, shrugged and continued cleaning around the obstacle, thereby creating a perfect outline for the family to see.

Carman-Hauri says, "My parents typically run the Roomba when they go out for errands, so my mom always checks to make sure it didn’t miss any spots. When she checked the other day, she was surprised by the large spot that was missed."

They instantly knew what that large spot was.

Meet The Lazy Obstacle!

Meet Bear, Carman-Hauri's eight-month-old Labrador Retriever who was at home when the family was away. But this isn't the first time Bear refused to move for Roomba to complete the cleaning job.

In fact, Bear's family says that they've seen Roomba draw his outline before.

When Roomba creates an outline, it gently bumps and nudges the obstacle to outline and map the cleanup job. This would only mean that Bear was nudged many times, but he still refused to move!

Bear then became the lazy obstacle that Roomba couldn't overcome. Carman-Hauri said, "We all found it hysterical! Bear is incredibly laid-back. He's just a happy, baby Bear."

Well, we're glad it turned out fine in the end! Glad the family was able to receive notifications to ensure that Roomba isn't to blame if a lazy, breathing obstacle refuses to cooperate.

On the other hand, I have a feeling Bear loved the gentle Roomba nudges and bumps!
