How do you get to be the Kleenex of robot vacuums and manage to fumble that advantage so bad?
By not enforcing your patents. Just ask TiVo.
Also they spun off the military robots arm of the company into its own business a long while back, so they didn’t really care about this corp anymore.
Nest or Ring would be smart to buy up the carcass of iRobot for their IP, talent ,and customer base. But they probably won’t.
Is nest still a thing? Thought it rebranded to Google cavity search or something.
Doesn't I robot have the floorplan of all their customer’s homes? That still seems on brand
AFAIK, yes. In the cloud, isn’t it? True, it would be very in brand.
