PREMIERE TOUCHSTONE SPONSOR
iROBOT
iRobot Corporation was founded in 1990 to meet the market demand for research robots. By 1992, however, robotic research extended beyond university classrooms. iRobot won many U.S government contracts and worked with Hasbro making inexpensive toys, thus refining technology and manufacturing processes. These competencies lead to PackBot, a robot currently in use in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2002, the first mass-market consumer robot, Roomba Floorvac, hit retail shelves around the U.S. Today, iRobot continues innovation of practical, reliable robots that save time, money, and human lives.KEYSTONE SPONSORS
