blog.washingtonpost.com -- Burlington,

Mass.-based robot manufacturer iRobot

demonstrated a couple of new gadgets yesterday

afternoon.

One, the Looj, falls into

the same category of household helper as its

Roomba vacuum and Scooba floor washer

(here's my review of the latter). This $99

robot crawls down a gutter on little tank

treads, sweeping out leaves and the gunk they

decompose into with a plastic auger. Seems

straightforward enough to me (if a senseless

waste of perfectly good compost). See the

complete story here.
