Dr. Roolittle - talk to your Roomba
If we could talk to the Roombas, just imagine it
Rumbling to a Roomba in Roomba-eze.
Imagine talking to a tiger (Roor), chatting with a cheeta (Spots the leopard really)
What a neat achievement that would be.
Well we actually did it. Added voice recognition to the myRoomBud Is Alive Dashboard. So over the weekend, we talked to our Roomba and it talked back. Say "hello" and it comes alive and respons "hello, what can I do for you." Ask it to hop or roar or wiggle and it does just that. Of course if you tell it to "Clean" it will shake it's head 'NO' and say you "you have to say please" If you say "Please" it will go and vacuum your room.
Clean Please
Hop to it Roobit
