Are there vacuuming robots that let you press a remote control and have them beep to indicate where they have hidden?

I have some older model Roomba robots. I prefer to set them to work and go elsewhere. The biggest nuisance of that scheme is that they often stop when they are hidden under furniture and it sometimes takes a long time to find them.

Interesting idea !

But with the door chime glued on top of it, the robot wouldn't vacuum under most of the furniture.
