but of course you know better than cognitive neuroscientists right?
Have you ever used a roomba? They're the worst and do jack shit. They have sensors yet manage to fall down stairs or get stuck in corners or they keep trying to go towards a glass sliding door. They're also really noisy. I hope the Russians get around to inventing a good one that also only costs $10
