    If it could sense where I am, when I'm busy, don't want it underfoot,and not be there, it can certainly replace my cats.

    Can this remarkable Roomba technology be retrofitted onto visiting relatives?

    And will it come closer when it detects moments of euphoria, such as an instance when endorphins are released mid-coitus?

    @FlashSandbox: Just make sure to toss your condom in a trash can. You don't want to gum up the Roomba.

    Hey. Lemons = lemonade. Just mount a webcam on top of the Roomba and you'll automatically capture the "money shots".

    @bosskev: And, as an added bonus, the sound of the Roomba's motors whirring will make it sound like you're having sex on a train, or a jet.
