Robots spent six years in Robohouse Project

[Still Waters]

For six straight years, the two-story, single-family house in Campbell Creek, Tennessee pretended to be occupied by humans. The bathroom light would click on in the morning. The shower would turn on, spraying an empty bathtub. No one lived in the house, but still the fridge would open and shut over the course of the day, and, every so often, the washer and dryer would starting rumble to life. TVs droned at empty rooms. At night the lights would come on throughout the home, waiting for a preset amount of time before shutting back down.

But the resulting data would have been corrupted by human factors—one family's preference for slightly higher indoor temperatures, or the total occupancy of the different homes changing, as kids go to college or an aging parent moves in. In this rigidly controlled study of human behavior, humans were the weak link

So its false data, unless all homes are to be human free, whats the real point in all this? And why would you need to have this going on in an empty house if humans where not to be part of it? Could this not have been done in a home with real people living in it for real results?
