Robot Malfunctions

You walk in the front door, peel off your work shoes, and picture your floor glimmering the way a magazine ad promises.

You’re not alone. If you’re currently standing over your Litter Robot, watching a stubborn blue light blink at you while your cat bewilderedly circles around, you’re not alone.
