You know how you always dreamed of having a robot best friend, or a robot dog, or a robot maid, or a robot anything cool? Well, surprise, it's 2013, and the world is full of robots... robot vacuums, that is. The IFA show floor was full of them. iRobot still leads the pack, but many other manufacturers are building their own versions. And here's some good news: they're actually starting to innovate.
