2024 - 4 Months of doing something different

Yesterday, I followed a robotic cleaner around Morries! I thought I was imagining things, when a big "box" moved towards me and headed off down an aisle. It was about shoulder height (OK I know that's not very tall on me) and chunky - like a dalek. Silent too. I seemed to be the only person who was a bit intrigued by this robot and couldn't help but follow it down the aisle. I can't imagine that its very effective as it only cleaned down the centre of the aisle, turned a corner at the end and headed off down the next aisle.
Next time I see it, I'm going to drop something in front of it and see how it reacts. Will it slurp it up or shout at me for dropping litter?

I met the  robot again today. If nothing else it gives customers something to talk about! I tested its reactions by standing in front of it, to see how close I could get before it detected me and swerved away - quite close! I asked one of the staff whether it would pick up anything dropped in front of it but he said it washes the floor, not vacuums. He actually switched it off and said he'd have to get a cleaner to clean up after it as it was leaving a  wet slug trail behind. Doesn't sound all that efficient if that's what happens. the last thing Morries would want would be customers slipping on the wet floor. 
When its stopped, or was passing by, I had to pat it, like a big dog. I even started talking to it - asking it where it was going next etc.  Apparently the staff have been trying to think of a name for it. The brand name is "Rovr" and its made by Tennant.

Found it - and there's a video https://www.tennantco.com/en_eu/1/machin...4rovr.html
