Las Vegas (NV) - iRobot's "Create" has made the rounds a few weeks ago when the device appeared on the FCC database, but now it is official: the company is offering a trimmed down version of its vacuum cleaners as a fully programmable robot for aspiring roboticists.
The Create kit is based on the Roomba the vacuuming robot, which, according to the manufacturer, has sold several millions of units, and is compatible with Roomba's rechargeable batteries, remote control and other accessories. iRobot hopes that high-school and college students as well as "serious" robot developers will pick up the Create and design "new robots" and applications for the device.
