Description

iRobot, the company behind the Roomba robot vacuum cleaner, has filed for bankruptcy and is being taken over by Chinese supplier Picea Robotics. This move aims to strengthen iRobots financial standing and future prospects, combining iRobots innovation with Piceas manufacturing expertise. The acquisition raises privacy concerns, but iRobot assures customers that operations will continue as usual. This marks a significant turning point for the company, which was founded by MIT roboticists and pioneered consumer robotic products.
