The company is best known for creating and marketing the Roomba, the intelligent, autonomous robot vacuum cleaner that features built-in sensors that enable it to successfully navigate stairs, furniture and other obstacles. Another major function of the Roomba appears to be to frighten household pets, if the great number of videos seemingly dedicated to this purpose on YouTube is anything to go by. Since its launch in 2002, the Roomba has sold over six million units worldwide. The company has added other home products to its range, including the Scooba, an automated floor washer. The company also manufactures robots for military applications, like the remotely controlled PackBots deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan for bomb disposal, hazmat detection, tactical maneuvering and first response applications.
