Quote:

"One of Scooba’s competitors, the $200 Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner from Evolution Robotics Inc. (mintcleaner.com), isn’t quite as advanced. It moves around the floor with wet or dry cleaning cloths attached to its underbelly, much like a motorized Swiffer Sweeper. Mint follows a projected signal beamed out from a separate device set in the room, and this is intended to help the device build a navigational map of a space, though it doesn’t prevent the device from leaving a specific area.

Note:
(a) icky (adj; perhaps baby talk alteration of sticky; First Known Use: 1929):
"offensive to the senses or sensibilities"

(b) Please at least read the first five paragraphs.
(c) Scooba 230. iRobot, undated.
