Robot Vacuum That Can Empty It's Own Dust Bin

Interesting how the Chinese companies are innovating new ways to separate themselves in the US market.  But will a robot vacuum that can empty it's own dust bin and sell for $599.00 be enough to suck away market share from the leader in the business, the iRobot Roomba?

iRobot's Ava will be an awesome platform for future business opportunities!!

I just saw a great article in Popular Mechanics about iRobot's latest creation:  Ava

Here's a video of the new robot taken at the recent CES show in Vegas:


This inspires a lot of thought and ideas for future business opportunities in Robotics.  With the ipad being used to control it, it will be very easy for developers to create unique apps to take advantage of it's capabilities.  I bet this will be a hot platform for future entrepreneurs!
