iRobot OS

2022: Operating System Announcement

At the end of May 2022, iRobot introduced an operating system for its Genius Home Intelligence intelligent platform - iRobot OS. The operating system includes improved pet features, voice commands, and object detection features.

iRobot OS runs on Roomba j7 and j7 + robotic vacuum cleaners and uses reviews of more than 20 million about data from connected iRobot devices. The system already allows you to perform more than 2.7 million cleaning tasks daily.

With the operating system (OS), Roomba robots are equipped with more pet-friendly features, such as blocking animals from accidentally turning on the device and the ability to install Keep Out Zones so you can make sure your Roomba stays away from certain places, such as around dishes of water or other fragile items.
