IROBOT UNVEILS ROOMBA DUO, A TWO-IN-ONE FLOOR CLEANER

The Roomba Duo operates as a coordinated pair, with the main unit handling mopping and sweeping across larger floor areas. The smaller, slimmer robot lowers mechanically when needed to access tight spaces like under tables and in corners. The design addresses a common household challenge: traditional robot vacuums struggle with narrow areas, while dedicated mopping robots often lack agility. By pairing specialized units, iRobot aims to deliver comprehensive floor coverage without manual intervention. The two cleaners move around homes together, suggesting autonomous coordination between the units. This marks iRobot's latest attempt to expand its robotics lineup beyond standard single-function vacuums. The Roomba Duo remains a concept at this stage, with no confirmed release date or pricing announced.
