Company OverviewFounded in 1990 by Massachusetts Institute of Technology roboticists, including the company’s Chairman and CEO Colin Angle, iRobot is the leading global consumer robot company. iRobot has developed some of the world’s most important robots, and has a rich history steeped in innovation. Its robots have revealed mysteries of the Great Pyramid of Giza, found harmful subsea oil in the Gulf of Mexico, and saved thousands of lives in areas of conflict and crisis around the globe. iRobot inspired the Micro Rovers used by NASA, changing space travel forever, deployed the ground robots for defense and security personnel, brought the self-navigating FDA-approved remote presence robots to hospitals and invented the world’s first robotic vacuum cleaner with Roomba®, forging a path for an entirely new category in home cleaning.

iRobot’s headquarters are located in Bedford, Massachusetts, USA, with offices in California, the United Kingdom, Japan, Mainland China and Hong Kong. The company has been awarded more than 1,000 patents, employs over 1,000 of the robot industry’s top professionals, including mechanical, electrical and software engineers, and has sold more than 25 million robots worldwide. The company’s stock trades on the NASDAQ stock market under the ticker symbol IRBT.

As the first company to bring robotic vacuum cleaners to the masses, and the market leader in many mature markets, such as The United States, Japan, and Germany, iRobot sees China as a strategically important market, as China becomes the world’s largest robot vacuum market. To be closer to the consumer in this highly competitive market, iRobot opened a sales & marketing office in Shanghai in 2016.
