Jake Lee is a product and industrial designer from Taiwan, and he's just completed the second version of a 3D printed vacuum project, Panda – The Ultimate Cleaning Robot. He says it's an an improved version of a previous attempt he made at designing and building a cleaning robot a couple of years ago, and this one features more robust construction, air suction, a sweeper and roller brush. Lee says it randomly selects a direction to move, and it's capable of detecting obstacles and sudden dropoffs. You can read the whole story here: http://3dprint.com/74843/3d-printed-robot-vacuum/
