Seems like a very niche market for a company at HP's scale. I don't really see them as a consumer printer company any longer. And Roomba-type things are very dependent on floor plans. My brother has a near-ideal layout (single level with no transitions) and it just works so-so for them. Wouldn't work for me pretty much at all even with some changes that eliminate level transitions.

Does your brother often plot floor plans on his house floor?

No. He has a floor plan and it is what it is.

A few years ago I got a broom vac and that seems to make the most sense.
