How about a gently flashing light on the robot which then
tells you what it needs you to do. For a roomba "pick up
pants", for a cooking robot "out of lentils" Seems better than
an email alert. |

What about a photon torpedo ? |

Dalek/Roomba Hybrid: "Beeep, beeep" |

|
Human: "Huh ? Ahhhch, shaddup .." |

Dalek/Roomba Hybrid: "ZAPPPPPPP ! " |
|
|
Human: <faint sound of cooling charred remains> |

Give a Roomba a slightly more powerful motor / brush assembly, and
it can clear any awkward humans out of its way as it proceeds, using
the same mechanism it uses for its daily job. |
