Lessons learned from robotic vacuum cleaners entering the home ecosystem ?
This research highlights synergies from two orthogonal studies on domestic robots. Energy consumption can benefit from mapping technologies, and influence performance. Users perception and needs are not sufficiently taken into account in robot design. Robots are rejected due to incompatibilities with the users ecosystem. Several ways to improve the current state of the art are proposed.
