Colin Angle: iRobot

Colin Angle is the CEO and co-founder of iRobot, a robotics company
that for 29 years has been creating robots that operate
successfully in the real world, not as a demo or on a scale of
dozens, but on a scale of thousands and millions. As of this year,
iRobot has sold more than 25 million robots to consumers, including
the Roomba vacuum cleaning robot, the Braava floor mopping robot,
and soon the Terra lawn mowing robot. 25 million robots
successfully operating autonomously in people's homes to me is an
incredible accomplishment of science, engineering, logistics, and
all kinds of entrepreneurial innovation. This conversation is part
