Vacuum Ball

The Dust Ball is designed to roll around on your floor, propelled by an internal motor that shifts the center of gravity to make it move. When the battery is depleted the Dust Ball rolls back into its charging hoop, while a full container will cause it to stop and glow.


That sounds neat, but there's a reason other existing robotic cleaners are low and squat, as this allows them to get under furniture where dust bunnies tend to hide. The Dust Ball's big size also means it's going to have a hard time cleaning up close to the wall.
