Okay, this is a strange one. We got sent this snippet of video of an unidentified robot moving in a room. The picture is grainy and pixelated which could just be a way of hiding features of it.
Now, we must admit, it has lines that remind us of Apple products, but we are surprised that someone would send the video to us first (instead of our friends at the IEEE Automation Blog or Plastic Pals).
What do you think?
It’s not Apple. Looks like a new enhanced vGo … With arms! Or maybe … iRobot. Those are my guesses.
Erico – I would be surprised if it was iRobot since the movement does not resemble ones I have seen so far. And for VGo, this might be up their alley – but they have a lot of VGos to sell already. Another one on its way?

Hi Sanford,
It’s not an Apple bot. I know the creator(s) and have a few things I can share about the device. Check it out:
