This robot is perfect for me as it does what you tell it to do. The EI-E is laser guided and cleans up for you. It works by you using a laser pointer. With the laser pointer you just point the green dot at an object, the robot has an interface which detects the green laser dot, estimates a 3D position and then moves towards that location to pick the object up.
The idea sounds cool although the robot does look a little large and clunky for now. It's still an interesting direction to move in for automation and lazyness around the home
