Robots That Serve Beyond The Vacuum

Posted by timothy on from the alt-title-robots-that-don't-suck dept.

Tim Brown of Mobile Robotics writes "While everyone has been debating the abilities of new robotic vacuum cleaners and their varying price tags, Siemens has quietly announced they have developed a 'Dressman' robot that will iron your clothes! (my least favorite household chore). Rumoured to be priced at US$1700 it seems expensive for an iron. But it appears that the Roomba's best work might be that it is ushering in a new era of innovation in home products. (Note very cool picture with the article.)"

    Some people believe you have to fake yourself to get a girlfriend/wife. He is a sloppy person and would only be clean if he felt he is getting something out of the deal...

    Not that it's bad or anything, some people like to look nice, and some people dont care.

    Or maybe he is a male chuavinist pig... but I try to see the best in people and hope he's just a sloppy loser.

    As a college student I think I will stick with the old fashion iron. Funny how the people that would enjoy these things the most can't afford them :(
