Roomba
Autonomous floor sucker
Roomba is a brand of autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner that navigates rooms on its own, sucking up dust and debris.
The name has become semi-generic for any robot vacuum: The Roomba got stuck under the couch again.
Roombas are often treated as quasi-pets by their owners, sometimes given names.
