Although those robots, like the standard Roomba, may not have controls
that are all that dedicated or granular.

Our Roomba controls were pretty much limited to scheduling when it
ran, and a limiter for the area.

It may not be nearly as useful as, say, a remote controlled toy, which
you really can stear and which may very well be equiped with video
camera(s) to allow the pilot to get a direct POV view of the remote's
environment.
