Afraid of heights, eh?
Robotic vacuum cleaners are some of the most melodramatic devices on the planet. They’ll squeal for attention about anything. “My dustbin canister is full!” “I’m lost!” “My battery running low!” But this Roomba definitely takes the cake. “I’m stuck near a cliff! Call rescue services!”
The “cliff” here is a floormat. It got stuck because it tried to vacuum it. The robot couldn’t back up because its wheels got caught on the rubber side of the mat. Seriously, Roomba, are you that starved for attention? Well, it does show that AI is getting closer to mimicking human behavior. Whiny human behavior.
