FINDINGS & STRATEGY
The most common name for a Roomba is “Rosie”. People love to name their robots and interact with them as if they are pets. With more positive emotion comes a sense of deeper trust between Man & Machine.
Personify Roomba to foster a deeper sense of Trust.

Stereotypical Mötley Crüe-esque Rock Band (V-SLAM) getting interviewed by a snobby journalist,
“I’m sitting here with the notoriously wild band V-SLAM, who aside from their music are more known
for trashing hotel rooms, high profile sex scandals, and even bringing circus animals on tour.
Miraculously you have seemed to stay out of the papers over the last year,
so I wanted to congratulate you for
finally turning the corner into a more mature, sensible, subdued band.”

“We appreciate that man, but actually we’ve been doing exactly the same stuff…
We just got rid of our chatty tour manager Steve and replaced him with a Roomba.”

(unlike the old tour manager Steve).”
