Cell phones, laptops, PDAs, and even embedded devices like RooTilt can now interact with Roomba wirelessly and make it more useful. Moreover, with the introduction of the Roomba Serial Control Interface – a software interface for controlling Roomba’s actuation and requesting it’s sensory data – you can now program Roomba for applications other than vacuuming.
