Brief introduction of iRobot company in America

Rondy Brooks, a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), presided over the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the largest university laboratory in the world. 1990, he and his favorite students, Colin Angel and Helen Granat, founded iRobot Company based on the venture capital provided by CSAIL. IRobot focuses on the research of practical robots, and has created robots such as PackBot to help people complete tasks efficiently. Its technology and products have won many patents. Among them, all kinds of military robots designed and manufactured by iRobot are light and practical, which can detect mines and detect enemy situations, and then send them back to the US military field command post through satellite navigation (GPS). Before the attack, they used missile air strikes with a very high hit rate. Therefore, from the desert storm to the Iraq war, the U.S. military used a lot of iRobot robots and achieved great military victory with very few casualties.

Until 20 1 1, iRobot sold more than 6 million household vacuum cleaning robots worldwide, creating the best sales performance of consumer robots in history.

In September 2002, the National Geographic Channel "Gough Pyramid Chamber of Secrets" explored that the robot "Pyramid Rover" with optical fiber lens, high-resolution camera and the world's smallest ground radar instrument was iRobot's product. In the September 1 1 incident in the United States, four robots "PackBot" that went deep into the ground of the World Trade Center to help search for survivors were also products of iRobot. There is also a robot that helps American soldiers "hunt bin Laden" in the mountains of Afghanistan, which is also a product of iRobot.

Because the number of military robots is limited after all, iRobot gradually sprouted the idea of designing domestic robots, and joined the funds of Acer Group in Taiwan Province Province in 1995 and put it into practice. Dust is the enemy of human health, not only flying around with many bacteria, viruses and eggs, but also causing environmental pollution, affecting people's normal life and work, and inducing human respiratory diseases. Roomba, a sweeping robot developed by iRobot, can not only effectively remove dust, but also make people enjoy the convenience of life.
