Imagine vacuuming in one area of your living room when realising that you missed a spot near the kitchen. You could walk all the way over there. Or you could launch a little robot to deal with it for you.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you what may very well be the perfect Gizmodo Sunday post: A terrified turtle riding a robot vacuum. Keep that head tucked in, little dude.
This new Neato vacuum cleaner has one trick up its nozzle that your average Roomba doesn’t – lasers. I’m sold!
There are worse things to worry about in the Middle East than a robotic vacuum cleaner, but to the viper who thought it’d be a cozy place to sleep, it proved to be the end of his violent, snakey existence.
It was only a matter of time, right? Check out this setup where a laptop player controls “Pac-Man” while being chased by robo-vacuum ghosts. And get this: it’s actually a demo of their unmanned aerial software that guides airborne vehicles.
Unfortunately, the Broomba doesn’t clean up after you like a Roomba might, but it does travel autonomously around the room cackling and playing scary music.
The Bomo Baby Carriage is essentially a Roomba with a seat for a baby on its back. There’s no way this’ll ever go wrong!
The Roomba autonomous vacuum / kitten transportation vehicle may be able to go potty all by itself like its cuddly counterparts if these patent applications from iRobot ever come to fruition.
This is what happens when a Roomba gets kicked around by abusive parents—it rebels against society, joins a gang and vandalises our communities.
