Neato Robotics XV-11 in full Living Room Assault Mode

This is my newly acquired Neato robotic vacuum cleaner, operating in full suburban search-and-clean mode. I'm putting this video online as my friends asked to see it in action. It's really quite wonderful to watch, and I'm impressed by the manner in which it gets its bearings , sizes up the room, and then sets to work sucking up the dust. And it does a wonderful job around complex spaces, such as when negotiating the tripod legs of my Genesis Device. I'm impressed that it always returns to finish cleaning a space once it has initially mapped out local boundaries. At the end of the video, it returns to the power dock, and recharges.
