I'm surprised that the guys over at iRobot (creaters of the Roomba) had not developed something like this already. I guess Microsoft has not completely lost their cutting edge on technology.

Has this <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www2.ogu.edu.tr/~robotel/" target="_newWindow">Robo Turk</a> program been updated yet?
