For more than three decades, iRobot has been a pioneer in the robotics and consumer electronics industries. It’s no exaggeration to say that our success is almost entirely due to the mission-driven builders who have created a culture that thrives on innovation.

Through the years, iRobot has developed some of the world’s most important robots. The company inspired the first Micro Rovers used by NASA, revealed mysteries inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, and deployed the first ground robots used in combat by the U.S. Army, saving thousands of lives in Afghanistan and Iraq.

iRobot brought the first self-navigating, FDA-approved remote presence robots to hospitals, and has developed robots to help save the environment. The Seaglider found harmful subsea oil in the Gulf of Mexico during the Deepwater Horizon crisis in 2010, leading to a more complete cleanup, and the PackBot helped shut down the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan in 2011.
