Youtuber michael reeves explains in his video how he modified a house cleaning roomba to make it scream or swear whenever it bumps into stuff.

It does a fabulous job on the daily chore of sweeping or vacuuming. The early models of roomba were dumb devices that would essentially flit around your living room bumping into furniture. And it did a pretty great job of cleaning my floors too, especially a wool carpet in my bedroom that's basically a magnet for cat hair.
That's because roomba isn't just for show.
How many of us have sworn and cursed really loudly whenever we stub our toe against some furniture, or trip over a cable? It's especially important to charge your roomba overnight if you have never used it before. Current models have the iconic front a forward ir sensor allows the robot to slow down before striking furniture. The roomba has been around since 2002, and irobot, the company which makes the roomba, has a market value of $2.5 billion dollars.
