/me gets tempted then looks at his Roomba gathering dust, on itself, for years now.

It's great in theory. I hate chores... but those things don't work. They work-ish in some ideal cases but a house, even a sorted one, is a mess. You have cables, clothes on the floor, etc.

Cleaning up is a menial task but it's not a trivial one, both mechanically and cognitively speaking.

It won't work.

It would work, if they could simplify the problem space. Install rails on the ceiling and pic and place from there..

True, basic barely noticeable adjustments for a normal home.

Better than- ups - i wrapped another cord around my tracks- and ripped a appliance +socket from the wall.. or spend thousands making my home robot-ready.

Bearing in mind even competent human cleaners often do a mediocre job tidying up I cannot possibly see how this robot could even begin to be useful.
