This robot will watch for intruders while it cleans your home. It's not only futuristic, it's fun and it's cool. While whistling while it works, the robot is also on the alert for motions that should be there. If it senses something it will jingle your cell phone. Homeowners can also drive the vacuum around the house via a remote for that spot cleaning.

Companies should consider developing products that have an emotional element in the design to ensure customers feel more of a connection with these designs.
