context_page_description: Roomba is a series of autonomous robotic vacuum cleaners sold by iRobot. Introduced in September 2002, Roombas feature a set of sensors that enable them to navigate the floor area of a home and clean it. For instance, Roombas' sensors can detect the presence of obstacles, detect dirty spots on the floor, and sense steep drops to keep them from falling down stairs.
  The Roomba units have a range of models which provide several different features, such as tangle-free brushes, separate sweep canister, a more powerful vacuum, obstacle avoidance, or performance maps displayed via a smartphone app. However, some parts of the Roomba models are interchangeable between related models, allowing a mix/match of features, or switching into other units for longer battery operation. Newer high-end models also feature a camera, which works in conjunction with onboard mapping and navigation software to systematically cover all floor area, move from room to room, and find recharging bases and beacons.
  Additionally, some Roomba units can be adapted to perform other more creative tasks using an embedded computer in conjunction with the Roomba Open Interface.
