iRobot has finalized its acquisition by Shenzhen PICEA Robotics following its exit from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The transition to private ownership aims to alleviate user concerns, particularly for the 50 million Roomba users, confirming that their robots will remain operational. PICEA, already the main manufacturer of iRobot products, will ensure ongoing customer support, software updates, and functionality of the iRobot Home app. iRobot intends to leverage increased investment capacity for future domestic robot generations while retaining its headquarters in Bedford, maintaining its engineering and marketing teams in the U.S.
