Deep in the wilds outside of Boston a team of mad scientists created the ultimate in robotic life: the iRobot Roomba, the ubiquitous, world-famous automatic vacuum that, for many of us, is our first brush with autonomous robotics. The Roomba’s brains came from a military minesweeper, it’s parts came from kids’ toys, and its mission - to clean up after us puny humans - came from a robotic floor waxer. In short, the Roomba is the culmination of years of research and is one of the most complex and coolest robots we’ve seen.
