If you your local NPR radio station does not carry the Bryant Park Project as one of it's shows, you can still listen to two of the myRoomBud founders being interviewed from the link below.

The interactive 3D documentation is very possible. In fact my company writes software to create interactive 3D documentation on the web. I offered iRobot our time to create an interactive 3D Roomba in a web page and/or 3D PDF file for just that purpose ... unfortunately, they said no thank you. If a...

It will vary depending on how what hacks you are going for. Hardware add-ons and using the Roomba as a robotic platform would push you towards the iRobot Create. Fun hacks and mods such as adding LEDs you might want to go with the cheapest used or refurb you can pick up on eBay. For programming, any...

I am not sure how low a level of programming you want to get for a simulator, but I created a simulated Roomba in Second Life using the SL scripting language and their physics engine with a small amount of code. The scripting language is state based which worked really well to code the behavior-base...

I found the book to be a very good overview of behavior based robotics. It gave me an fairly complete understanding on how and more importantly why the Roomba works the way it does. There is pseudo code throughout the book and full source for a robot simulator, BSim. I should have the SLoomba ready ...

Mooba cleans up with his Second Life Roomba
So art imitates (Second) Life Playing around in Second Life for a bit lead me to create a Second Life Roomba. The SLoomba is programmed in the LSL scripting language and uses the algorithms from in Joe Jones, one of the original Roomba developers, book "Robot Programming: A Practical Guide to B...

Hi swilson, We have a Scooba and a few Roombas. Our cleaning process is to have the Scooba and Roombas clean over night. To us, that means our personal cleaning time and effort goes down to almost zero! It is very very rare that we ever run either during the day. If we do, it's when we are leaving t...
