Amazon is continuing their focus in the robotics and home convenience arena, and has now announced it will acquire iRobot.
iRobot is one of the companies that is famous for offering the Roomba robot in helping to clean and vacuum the house.
Amazon will acquire iRobot for $1.7 billion.
For now, Amazon has not said what their plans are with iRobot. For information, Amazon is ready to cover homes in several countries through the provision of e-commerce ordering facilities, in addition to the use of robots such as Alexa to facilitate tasks. This iRobot will further complement Amazon's portfolio in helping to facilitate people's daily work, in addition to keeping the house in order.
With this new development, let's all look forward to Amazon's next move in the home robot arena.
