BEDFORD, Mass. , Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- iRobot Corp., a leader in consumer robotics and intelligent floor care, today unveiled the Roomba® Duo, iRobot's first dual-unit robot vacuum and mop, at IFA 2026. Introducing a breakthrough approach to intelligent floor cleaning, the new system addresses a long-standing trade-off in robotic floor care: wet-dry vacuums delivered powerful cleaning but lacked autonomous navigation, while robot vacuums offered hands-free convenience without the raw cleaning power of a wet-dry vacuum. The Roomba® Duo pairs an advanced main robot that vacuums and steam-mops with an ultra-compact companion robot. The pair use a shared home map and an autonomous mobile dock, working together as one intelligent system to deliver seamless, comprehensive cleaning throughout the home.
