The "myRoomBud Is Alive Dashboard", aka MIAD, allows Roomba owners with a RooTooth interface (a Bluetooth dongle specifically made for the Roomba Vacuum) to add personality to their Roomba. Clicking on any of the RoomBud pictures (as shown to the right) will start the Roomba. Your Roomba will then take on the personality of a real frog, tiger, or even a French maid. Once the personality is selected, the Roomba will proceed to vacuum your floor.
If adding personality isn't enough, you can even drive your Roomba around by clicking around the edge of the picture. For now, this is all you can do with MIAD, but if you check back later, new personalities and features will be added and available at myRoomBud.com.
About RooTooth
RooTooth provides Bluetooth connectivity to the Roomba, and allows you to connect and communicate with the Roomba using any Bluetooth enabled device over Bluetooth’s Serial Port Profile (SPP).
