iRobot

iRobot delivers innovative robots that are making a difference in people's lives. From cleaning floors to disarming explosives, we constantly strive to find better to tackle dull, dirty and dangerous missions-with better results.

Founded in 1990 by roboticists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, iRobot designs behavior-based, artificially intelligent robots. Powered by iRobot's proprietary AWARE™ Robot Intelligence Systems, our robots are designed to navigate through complex and dynamic real-world situations, from maneuvering around furniture to performing reconnaissance missions. Our robots are highly sophisticated, yet also practical and easy to use.

To date, more than 2.5 million iRobot Roomba® Vacuuming Robots have been sold worldwide and over 1500 iRobot PackBot®Tactical Mobile Robots have been deployed worldwide. These robots have performed tens of thousands of missions and are credited with saving scores of lives. iRobot has won numerous awards for innovation and design.

Robots Making a Difference!

While working together at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the late 1980s, roboticists Rodney Brooks, Colin Angle, and Helen Greiner shared a vision to create a whole new class of practical robots that could make people's lives easier. In 1990, Greiner and Angle, along with Brooks, formed a company that would be dedicated to fulfilling this promise. Brooks is also the former Director of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab.
