Oh cool, they finally started using lidar! The slam tech was impressive for the data and locational awareness it could do but as soon as I got my first neato I was like 'holy crap this is night and day' for nav.
I thought that Amazon bought iR a few years ago and was expecting them to let the brand die, nothing much happened for the first couple years. I'll still be very skeptical but competition is good.
Fortunately/unfortunately, they didn't get bought by Amazon. I only say unfortunately because they made a lot of business decisions expecting it to go through, and when it didn't, has caused them a ton of trouble. They seem to be hanging in there pretty well and this current gen of bots seems to be pretty solid. I've had iR stuff for over 20 years now and have generally only had good experiences, so they're still my go-to.
TIL, I thought it had gone through
