Is a Roomba, the robot vacuum cleaner that adapts to walls, furniture, the rate at which the floor gets dirty, and other things, an agent?

It's a textbook case of an agent in the AI field. (Really! IIRC AI: A Modern Approach uses Roomba in its introductory chapters as an example of an agent.)

We may need to taboo the word agent, since it has technical meanings here.

Hopefully where "taboo" means explain.
