The co-founder and chairman of iRobot , Helen Greiner doesn’t want to open her cards about expansion of their robotic family.
iRobot is public corporation based in Burlington that designs robots for businesses, homes, and the military. iRobot became popular with its product Roomba, an autonomous home vacuum cleaner. Answering to questions in a game show, Greiner told that her company had two new consumer robots that are planned to be introduced before the holiday season. But she did not like to give much information about these robots. She said,
We are going to launch them from our Web space, and they are not floor-cleaning robots. They are different types of robots with mechanical features.
Actually iRobot wants us to keep guessing about their future product that’s why they have not lifted the veil of mystery surrounding the two new additions to the iRobot family.
We already know that the military has been using iRobot’s services in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. So how about having a robot that cooks our food, takes our dog out for a walk, waters our garden, are you listening Mrs Greiner?
