We solved the &#34;clean a blank carpet&#34; problem decades ago. We spent the whole time struggling with &#34;okay, now deal with objects and frictions.&#34;&#xA;&#xA;I have a maid, not a roomba. The maid cleans every surface in the house. She&#39;s my vacuum, my solid floor scrubber, my counter cleaner, my stove cleaner, my bathroom cleaner, etc. She uses her intelligence to work around questions like, &#34;should I move this, should I clean this, or leave it be?&#34; When we travel and aren&#39;t at home, we can give  her instructions on how to let herself in. She even brings the mail in for us to check when we get back. When she was hit by a truck and couldn&#39;t work for months, we paid her full wage during that time despite no work, as though she had benefits, since we valued her work so much.&#xA;&#xA;Roombas have made very little progress at replicating any of that, to bring that capability from the upper-middle class and the upper class to everyone. When they start to do that (maybe not all of that, but the basics), then I&#39;d pay attention.</html></oembed>
