Readybot; R2D2’s ancestor will clean your house

Clean the kitchen, pick up and sort all the toys, clean out the garbage, water the plants and wipe the table. That is what the Readybot, Roomba’s bigger sister, will be able to do in your house while you are away. This is clearly version 0.1, as you can see in the movie, but with a little imagination you can easily see this evolve into R2D2. The head is there and the arms too. Now all we need is a little speed and more intelligence and the ability to accept or deny friendsrequests on Facebook on your behalf.
