A robot vacuum unexpectedly became the key piece of evidence in a Taiwanese man's divorce battle, helping him prove that his wife was having an affair. The man secretly recorded footage from the device's camera and used it in court to support his claim against his wife and her alleged partner. The court ultimately awarded him 500,000 Taiwanese dollars (around Rs 17 lakh or $19,000) for emotional distress. But the victory came with a major setback. His wife filed a case against him, arguing that he illegally recorded her in a private setting without her consent.
