Kuleli sonto kuqubuke impikiswano ngezinhloso zokusebenzisa inkampani iRobot, eyenza inkampani yokuhlanza iRoomba, ehlele ukuyenza ngemininingwane yemephu erekhodwa amadivayisi abo lapho benza umsebenzi wabo. Lolo lwazi olushicilelwe yi-ejensi yezindaba iReuters luthi iRobot ihlose ukuthengisa lolu hlobo lolwazi kolunye lweBig Three (iGoogle, iAmazon neApple) eminyakeni emibili ezayo, ukuze kusheshisa ukwakhiwa kwamadivayisi ahlakaniphile njengama-light bulbs, ama-thermostats namakhamera okuphepha ikakhulukazi. Baningi abebesebenzisa le mikhiqizo abazwakalise ukungakhululeki kwabo, noma ngabe ngokusho kokushicilelwa, ngaphandle kwemvume yabanikazi, imininingwane yabo ngeke ithengiswe.
Kodwa kubukeka sengathi umbiko weReuters ubungaqondile ngokuphelele, noma ngokusho kwe-CEO iRobot, amagama akhe ahunyushwa kabi. Ukuzama ukuthola isisombululo kule bergine enkulu le nkampani engenele kuyo, iRobot ithumele isitatimende kuZDNet lapho ithi khona "iRobot ngeke ithengise idatha yomsebenzisi«, Idatha etholwe yi-vacuum cleaner yenkampani, idatha nayo okumele ilawulwe yikhasimende lokugcina futhi ingabi yinto yokuhweba.
Izinto zokuqala kuqala, iRobot ngeke ithengise idatha yakho. Umsebenzi wethu ukukusiza ugcine ikhaya elihlanzekile ngenkathi usiza ikhaya lakho elihlakaniphile namadivayisi asebenza kangcono. Imininingwane eyabiwe kufanele ilawulwe yikhasimende hhayi njengempahla yedatha yenkampani engayisebenzisa. Le yindlela idatha ephathwa ngayo yi-iRobot namuhla. Amakhasimende anokulawula ukwabelana ngakho. Ngifuna ukukubeka kucace bha ukuthi le yindlela idatha ezophathwa ngayo ngokuzayo.
