Robot, founded in 1990 by MIT roboticists, is the global pioneer that defined the home robotics industry with the 2002 launch of the Roomba. Originally known for developing advanced rovers for NASA and tactical robots for defense, the company has since sold over 50 million home robots worldwide. Now operating as a private leader following a 2026 acquisition by Picea Robotics, iRobot continues to innovate through its "iRobot OS" ecosystem, delivering industry-leading vSLAM navigation, smart mapping, and proactive obstacle avoidance across its Roomba vacuum and Braava mop lines. Synonymous with dependable home automation, the brand remains dedicated to "empowering people to do more" by creating the world’s most thoughtful and intelligent cleaning solutions.
The Roomba Max 705 is a high-performance robot vacuum engineered for intensive home cleaning, particularly in busy and pet-owning households. It features the ClearView™ Pro LiDAR system for precise 3D mapping and navigation, paired with PrecisionVision™ AI to identify and avoid common obstacles like cords, shoes, and pet waste. Performance is centered around iRobot’s extreme power-lifting suction (180x stronger than the 600 series) and patented anti-tangle Dual Rubber Brushes that stay in constant contact with all floor types. The system is paired with an AutoEmpty™ Dock that contains debris for up to 75 days in an enclosed bag. As a Matter-enabled device, it offers seamless integration with smart home ecosystems like Apple Home for advanced automation and voice control.
