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 ways 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 AWARETM Robot Intelligence Systems, our robots are designed to navigate through complex and dynamic real-world situations, from maneuvering around furniture to searching abandoned buildings. Our robots are highly sophisticated, yet practical and easy to use.
Today, more than 6 million Home Robots have been sold worldwide and over 1,200 iRobot PackBot® Tactical Mobile Robots have been deployed worldwide, mostly in Iraq and Afghanistan. These robots have performed tens of thousands of missions and are credited with saving scores of soldiers' lives. iRobot has won numerous awards for innovation and design.
iRobot has made some of the world’s most important robots.
iRobot Home Robots: The smarter way to get it done
iRobot’s home robots are revolutionizing the way people clean – inside and out. More than 5 million home robots have been sold worldwide. The award-winning iRobot® Roomba® floor vacuuming robot is leading the charge. Roomba made practical robots a reality for the first time and showed the world that robots are here to stay. iRobot’s acclaimed line of home robots also includes the iRobot Scooba® floor washing robot, the iRobot Dirt Dog® shop sweeping robot, the iRobot Verro™ pool cleaning robot and the iRobot Looj™ gutter cleaning robot.
iRobot Government & Industrial Robots: Protecting those in harm’s way
iRobot’s combat-proven government and industrial robots perform multiple missions – on the land and in the sea. More than 3,000 iRobot® PackBot® tactical mobile robots have been delivered to military and civil defense forces worldwide, performing thousands of dangerous search, reconnaissance and bomb-disposal missions while keeping troops out of harm’s way. iRobot’s line of government and industrial robots also includes the iRobot Negotiator™, an affordable surveillance robot for public safety professionals, and the iRobot Warrior, a large and rugged robot designed to carry 150-pound payloads. As a key partner in the U.S. Army’s Brigade Combat Team Modernization program, iRobot is developing the next-generation Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle (SUGV). Seaglider™ and Ranger, iRobot’s Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), perform a variety of missions for maritime researchers and military planners.
