This robot was designed to be more “cute” and give the owners the feeling of it not being an appliance but more as a member of the family, The hand/picking portion of it would be able to both grab as well as scoop up things, thus the name “Grooper”. The tracks were designed so it could make its way over any small obstacles such as lamp cords, or anything that would normally impede wheels and casters. Plus it could go up and down stairs as well.
