these images were captured by its Roombas in 2020. All of them came from “special development robots with hardware and software modifications that are not and never were present on iRobot consumer products for purchase,” the company said in a statement. They were given to “paid collectors and employees” who signed written agreements acknowledging that they were sending data streams, including video, back to the company for training purposes. According to iRobot, the devices were labeled with a bright green sticker that read “video recording in progress,” and it was up to those paid data collectors to “remove anything they deem sensitive from any space the robot operates in, including children.”

If I worked for Roomba, and took in a Roomba with a camera and a big sticker saying "video recording in process", and signed a thing saying it could record and use the video, then I would shut the bathroom door.

well the bigger picture issue is lazy security with such devices. the toilet pics story is a side note I heard in a program that described how companies can be lazy to the point of not treating seriously reports from people that they found an exploit and should do something about it. One guy reported an exploit, it was ignored, and then people were getting called nigger by their robot. https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2024/10/robot-vacuum-cleaners-hacked-to-spy-on-insult-owners
