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 9 million home robots have been sold worldwide. The award-winning iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaning 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 Mirra pool cleaning robot and the iRobot Looj gutter cleaning robot.

iRobot Defense and Security: Protecting those in harm’s way

iRobot’s combat-proven defense and security robots perform multiple missions for troops and public safety professionals. More than 5,000 have been delivered to military and civil defense forces worldwide. Developed for the U.S. Army’s modernization program, Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle (SUGV) is the robot for dismounted mobile operations and infantry missions. SUGV’s predecessor, the iRobot PackBot, is one of the most successful battle-tested robots in the world, performing thousands of dangerous search, reconnaissance and bomb-disposal missions. iRobot’s line of military robots also includes the iRobot FirstLook, a small, light, throwable robot for special operations, and the iRobot Warrior, a large robot that carries heavy payloads.
