Robot vacuums from Neato Robotics use SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) to dynamically model their environment. Here we see an early prototype (which will eventually evolve into the XV-11) use its laser range finder to map its surroundings. This is only a mapping trial and the robot is not cleaning at this time. Notice the purple foot prints - this is an engineer walking through the room.
lol i love it how you can see the people following the vacuum.

Will they ever sell just the laser turret unit ?? Would be great for hobbyists!
