In 1997 iRobot was a very busy place with a variety of consumer, government and research endeavors. For example, they were working on a large cleaning robot for SC Johnson Wax that would eventually be released as the AutoCleaner. They were also developing toys with low-cost parts. As the AutoCleaner project wound down, two of the engineers from the design team became interested in affordable cleaning robots for home use. Using the understanding of cleaning and low cost manufacturing, they built a proof of concept robot to prove that this was a fruitful line of research. A team was assembled to develop the world's first affordable home floor cleaning robot.
It was a long journey. Over the five years from prototype to product, the robot that became iRobot Roomba changed considerably. After many long nights and a lot of hard work, iRobot Roomba, the world's first affordable home vacuum cleaning robot, was introduced on September 22, 2002 to widespread public acclaim. iRobot continue to improve iRobot Roomba and have now sold over 5 million home cleaning robots. Customers continue to rave about iRobot Roomba whilst iRobot themselves continue to "Change the World" by "Delivering Great Products."
