iRobot
Headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts iRobot designs and builds innovative robots that make a difference in people’s lives. The company was established in 1990 by three Massachusetts Institute of Technology alumni and began with a vision of robots beyond academia and industry involving practical applications that would change the world. The original business plan involving space exploration by robots was well underway when the company began to win government and industry contracts and focus shifted. iRobot further diversified in 1997 when the first home robotic vacuum cleaner known as iRobot Roomba was developed.
iRobot has since successfully created a “consumer” home robot category that is changing the way consumers clean. Since then, more than 30M robots have been shipped. Beyond Roomba, other consumer products include Braava (robotic floor mopping), Combo (2-in-1 vacuum and mopping robot) and Root (educational robot).
