    My roomba is rambo: Intimate home appliances
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-09) Sung, Ja-Young ; Guo, Lan ; Grinter, Rebecca E. ; Christensen, Henrik I.
    Robots have entered our domestic lives, but yet, little is known about their impact on the home. This paper takes steps towards addressing this omission, by reporting results from an empirical study of iRobot’s Roomba™, a vacuuming robot. Our findings suggest that, by developing intimacy to the robot, our participants were able to derive increased pleasure from cleaning, and expended effort to fit Roomba into their homes, and shared it with others. These findings lead us to propose four design implications that we argue could increase people’s enthusiasm for smart home technologies.

    Robot vibrations
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2001) Book, Wayne J.
    The nature of robotic arms invites vibratory behavior while the function of robotic arms is heavily penalized by that vibration. Consequently, understanding and compensating for the tendencies of a robot to vibrate are of great importance. Robotic vehicles have less tendency to vibrate, although mounting an arm on a vehicle introduces new sources of excitation and compliance and new penalties for the simple solution to vibration, that is, adding mass to rigidize the arm structure
