I-Shovel, the Automated Snow Shoveler
Sure, everyone loves the Roomba, iRobot, that lovable little device that can vacuum a room all by its automated bad himself, so it’s only logical that someone I-shovel, an automatic robot snow shovel.
Somehow, the I-bucket has special sensors that can detect how much snow has resulted in a certain area. If it somehow clear that there is enough snow to be shoveled, it starts to work and to the snow. The battery has enough energy for about 4000 square meter blades, which is more than enough for an average driveway.
Unfortunately, I shovel-tech is still patent pending, so that the I-Shovel is just a prototype at this point. I see a few bugs that need to be worked out. For example, how does the I-shovel know where to put the snow? I mean, I can not, when the snow plow comes my street and the snow accumulates, he pushed together in a package that my car is blocked. When the snow plow driver is capable of such a mistake, then who knows what kind of machine is capable of.
Nevertheless, the decision makers of the I-Shovel is definitely on the right track. After all, who like her shovel driveway? If I could be a little cold heartless machine to go out into the cold outdoors heartless, I’m game.
