I’ve always placed robots in the same category as flying cars and Rosie (as in The Jetsons) and sci-fi movies (Forbidden Planet, AI) but it appears they are creeping up on us.

I’ve just learned iRobot has sold 1.5 million vacuuming robots (Roomba) and floor washing robots (Scooba).

iRobot also sell government and industrial robots.

Knowledge@Wharton have interviewed Helen Greiner the founder of iRobot. Read it. It will change your perceptions!
