Cye works because it has incredibly accurate dead-reckoning. Sounds implausible but it works. Cye typically accumulates less than 6 inches of error with 50 feet of travel. Combined with the a simple calibration process that works against any wall, plus the simplest interface in the world Map-N-Zap, this robot is actually useful. It vacuums and carries your stuff around in it's wagon.
