A design team built a prototype robot that is a vacuum cleaner. Their goal is for the robot to be able to vacuum people’s homes on its own with no human supervision. How will the team know if the robot prototype works after it is completed?

• Place it in someone’s home, and see if it can vacuum the carpets on its own.
• They should go ahead and build a prototype of this design.
• Place it in a grassy field, and observe to see if it can vacuum up dirt and sand.
