The iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaning robot is revolutionizing the way people clean their homes. The idea for Roomba came from a group of iRobot employees; they were given two weeks to develop the concept – a collaboration that led to the world’s first affordable vacuum cleaning robot. Roomba made practical home robots a reality for the first time and showed the world that robots are here to stay. Millions of Roomba robots have been sold worldwide.
