Fifteen years ago, a tech and pop culture icon was born with the launch of the very first Roomba vacuuming robot from iRobot. Today, more than 20 million of the company’s home robots have been sold worldwide.
iRobot forever changed how people clean their home with the launch of the first Roomba vacuum cleaner, disrupting an industry that had remained virtually unchanged for more than 100 years.
Fifteen years later, iRobot continues to innovate throughout its product line, offering connectivity and mapping capabilities that will help to enable the smart home of the future.
“The launch of the Roomba vacuuming robot helped establish a viable market for consumer robotics and helped make iRobot a household name,” said Colin Angle, CEO and founder of iRobot. “Fifteen years on, we are excited to celebrate this milestone, and we recognise that there is so much more to come. Looking ahead to the next 15 years, robots will be the centrepiece of the smart home, helping people to accomplish even more in their daily lives.”
