Imagine if you apply this technology to office towers? No more dangerous window cleaning.

I wonder how close it would come to the substrate line. It would be neat if there was a sensor that could stop the movement if sand or a sediment was detected.

I guess it's a good idea if you cant spend 30 seconds to swipe a magnet across your tank. I'll take three, one for every side of my tank:)

This would only be a viable option for glass aquariums.

Even that I see it having very limited usability or value.

Maybe I just don't get it?

I was pretty excited to see this until I read more at their site. It seems like it needs to hit a corner to do the math properly. I think that means it won't work on my tank. Pretty clever idea though, so long as it doesn't destroy acrylic tanks.

Interesting setup. I was wondering how they would get it to jump corners… but I guess it doesn't do that just yet. I could see 1 of these running around my tank, but not 3. I also wonder how small they can get it, and it still be functional.
