is this robot smart?

Well, for what it is, it is cool. It bumps around and learns where walls are so it doesn't bump them again. The 7 year-old likes it!

I do not own the IRobot. I own the Neato Robotic and I can schedule with that. Any day of the week & anytime!

No, I don't believe so. There is no 'intelligence' built into it that I'm aware of (and it doesn't behave that way so far.) It really is nothing but a simple swtich. I'm not sure what the guy (Geroge Demott) is doing with his DVD player though. I didn't quite understand his answer, except a DVD player is an appliance that may use 'standby' power, and he needs to effectively unplug it and plug it back in (which is the impact of this swtich) to get a 'stuck' disc 'unstuck.'

i think the robot can dynamically and electronically move better on its own rather than manual adjustment the older model needs (for change of direction of the ball).

Yes. But the remote doesn't work well. I recommend this model instead... http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0056IB3DY?pc_redir=1399974787&robot;_redir=1

Yes it is - I am no techie. It's a good scanner!! Worth paying the extra money to upgrade to this model.

No...I only wish! The robot voice is female and does not understand plain English. "Tohhhlll, Freee Callll" is what she says the best...and it helps, cuz we don't pick up.

I'm not exactly qualified to answer your question directly but I can say that it has artificial intelligence and if it detects alarms (i.e. stores or administration buildings) once in a familiar route, it will not constantly beep. For the value and performance, it's the best on the market. Google search top 10 detectors and it's #3 with #1 and #2 costing alot more.

I don't know. They caused me a lot of problems and when I called Neato, Neato told me that they do not sell certified batteries through Amazon. The batteries worked, but if the robot ever failed to make it back to the charging station and so got very discharged, it became harder and harder to get the robot to wake up again. I got so concerned, I called Neato and the first question they asked was "Did you change the batteries? Where did you buy them from?" I've since got another set of batteries from another supplier (suggested by the Neato tech) and although they looked *exactly* the same, down to packaging and labels, as the ones I got from Amazon, the whole thing is now working a lot better.

I would depend how computer savvy and independent this child is. MY 6 1/2 yr old (at the time) grandson figured it out on his own--but it took a while, and he is pretty smart. But once he got going, there was no stopping him. He loves it.

Top spins and side spins are determined by the position of the head of the robot. No. This robot's head has to be adjusted manually. You are talking about a robot that is at least 1.200 US$ and above. Butterfly Amicus and Smart Pong are examples of this, but they are way too expensive. However, RoboPong is such a good bargain for the money. I am happy I bought it. The drills are awesome. I can also create the kinds of drills I want. It is very good for fitness as well. Good luck.

Yes it is. It can print a chain link for example. However, you must have a good grasp of CAD programs to design your stuff and output them to be used for the Makerbot.

the wheel has a special clip that attached to the house like how you connect hamster tunnels so i would say no but i do not know what a robo wheel is but unless it can attach to the clip the house has i would say no.

We have been happy with the doorbot. It does work even if you are not home. More than one person can put app on their phone.

Probably not. It supposedly has "smart energy" features, whatever those are, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have the kind of features "smart" usually means regarding televisions.

Yes but I rarely allow it to go that long because I live in a very small house. Also, you have to have the base secured or the Robot just pushes it around! I put mine in a corner and it does well.

I have no idea. both of my children have older model Robots and they are great. I was very frustrated with the Whiskers Model and returned it. It got stuck every few minutes and I would have to redirect it.
