雨槽機器人

????如果有機器人可以幫你上屋頂上清理雨槽，何苦還要自己動手呢？總部位于美國馬薩諸塞州貝德福德的iRobot公司最近推出了一款Looj 330雨槽清理機器人，售價100美元。它擁有一對坦克式的履帶，以及一支用來清除槽內(nèi)垃圾的螺旋鉆。這臺設(shè)備附帶遙控器，可以讓人們不必親自動手便可清理屋頂。它在操作上并非全自動——仍然需要用戶爬上梯子把它放到雨槽里。

Rain gutter robot

????Why clean your rain gutters when you can put a robot on the roof to do the job for you? iRobot, based in Bedford, Mass., recently came out with the Looj 330 Gutter Cleaning Robot priced at $100. It has caterpillar tracks akin to a tank and a spinning auger that tosses out gutter debris. The device comes with a remote control that lets you clean the roof hands free. It's not completely autonomous: You still need to get on a ladder to place the device in the gutter.
