Amazon to acquire Roomba-maker iRobot for $1.7 billion USD

Amazon signed an agreement to purchase iRobot, the company behind the popular Roomba robot vacuums. The deal, valued at approximately $1.7 billion USD (roughly $2.2 billion CAD), will see Amazon acquire iRobot at $61 USD per share in an all-cash transaction.

The Verge reports that while it’s not clear how iRobot will integrate into Amazon yet, the company does plan to keep Colin Angle as CEO of iRobot.

It’s not much of a surprise that Amazon wants iRobot. The e-commerce giant has been working on an ever-expanding lineup of smart home gadgets, including its own robot that launched last year in the U.S. Dubbed Astro, Amazon pitched it as a home assistant robot — The Verge described it as “Alexa on wheels” — that could bring people beers. However, it reportedly didn’t handle stairs well.

iRobot’s latest big update to Roomba was a new software dubbed ‘iRobot OS,’ which included artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) smarts to improve the robot vacuums’ ability to navigate homes. Features include improve home mapping, the ability to detect obstacles like cables or shoes, and more.

It’s not hard to guess how iRobot and Roomba could integrate into Amazon, possibly boosting the capabilities of Amazon’s robots (both current and future products), as well as integration between Roomba and Amazon Echo devices. Plus, Amazon owns several other smart home product brands, like Ring (smart doorbells). This could all lead to an Amazon-powered, robot-filled home of the future.

Of course, this will likely build on privacy and antitrust concerns around Amazon, its data collection through smart home devices, and its control over the smart home market. For example, concerns have been raised over how Amazon shares Ring and Echo data with law enforcement. Considering several Roomba models include cameras and can roam around your home, there’s potential for even more in-home surveillance.

    Google files with FCC for mysterious ‘wireless’ device

    FCC filings often indicate what companies might have in store when it comes to future products.

    As reported by The Verge, a recent Google FCC filing reveals a mysterious product described as a “Wireless device” that’s battery-powered and offers no AC connection, though it can be powered via USB. The available information isn’t enough to deduce what the product might be. However, 9to5Google suggests that it could be a Nest device that uses 3.65V rechargeable batteries.

    According to a recent leak, Google’s Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro would launch on October 13th, with pre-orders going live on October 6th. This means that Google will likely host an event around those dates, and that is when we might hear more about the wireless device in question.

    Amazon, on the other hand, seems to be developing a new version of the Echo Studio smart speaker. The FCC filing describes the product as a “Digital Media Receiver,” with an AC power cable and a Zigbee radio. It’s worth noting that the filing wasn’t done under the name of Amazon, and rather under the name of a shell company called Flake LLC. Flake LLC has a different filling for a “Digital Media Receiver” that seems to be the Echo Studio, which somewhat proves that it is one of Amazon’s shell companies.

    The only difference between the old Echo Studio speaker and the new one seems to be the addition of a different MediaTek wireless chip. It’s unclear why Amazon is making such a minuscule change to the product, though chip supply issues could be a probable cause.

    Check out the Google FCC listing here, and you can find Amazon’s FCC listing here.
