It's been five, long shit-smeared years since the world was shocked to discover that iRobot's fancy robot vacuum cleaners were prone to tracking dog poop all over owners' homes. Now, the company behind the pricey Roombas promises it's found a solution: Say hello to the $850 Roomba j7+ Robot Vacuum with Genius™ 3.0 Home Intelligence.
According to a Sept. 9 iRobot press release, the latest Roomba is equipped with the fancy sounding "PrecisionVision Navigation" which, in theory, allows it to avoid your furry friends' unwelcome leavings.

If it's near the floor, it will have poop on it. Those awesome wheels, which have a checkered surface for better traction, left 25-foot poop trails all over the house.
That it took this long for an internet-connected vacuum to finally recognize and avoid poop speaks volumes to the janky internet-of-things world we all find ourselves living in — and iRobot's CEO isn't shy about admitting it.
"Smart home products often fail to live up to consumer expectations when they lack context of the home, cannot learn independently and require complex programming for basic functionality," explained Colin Angle in the Roomba j7+ press release.
