When you think about robots are you always thinking Japanese? Would it surprise you if one of the leading companies was founded and continues to operate in the United States? Welcome to the company called iRobot that operates with its headquarters in Bedford, Massachusetts. Perhaps you better know this organization for their products such as the highly advertised Roomba that vacuums your floor. This is just the beginning of the robot industry, and the applications are limitless. Already in place are the robots that clean your pool, wash your floor, and sweep your shop. If you have ever seen Planet of the Apes, then you know PETA will never allow animals to be used that way, however, until PETA decides that a robot is an animal, there will not likely be naked bodies protesting their use. This company is a giant in the industry and generated over three hundred billion dollars in revenue in 2008 alone. They have over four hundred robotics experts employed by them with offices in several states and countries. When you think about robots, keep your eyes on iRobot for current and future applications.
