A Robot Gets a Robot to Help Clean Up the Lab

"Robot Slaves’ Slaves: Monty Gets A Roomba"
BotJunkie (May 1, 2008)

"We introduced you to Monty last year at RoboDevelopment, and it looks like he’s made some progress… Instead of doing your cleaning for you, Monty has figured out how to delegate his responsibilities to other, less complicated forms of robotic life. Namely, a Roomba. It's an interesting move; as soon as robots figure out how great robots are at mindless manual labor, robots will start getting themselves robots to do all the robot work for them. And where does that leave us? Yeah, probably cowering in a corner somewhere."

There's a rather impressive video. 6:31

Monty is a Heinlein waldo than a robot: you can see the operator several times in the video. But it's still an impressive video.
