Global consumer robot company iRobot Corp on Thursday unveiled a new robotic vacuum cleaner Roomba j7+ with iRobot OS for Indian consumers. iRobot OS delivers a new level of customer experience for a cleaner, healthier and smarter home. "Smart home products often fail to live up to consumer expectations when they lack the context of the home, cannot learn independently, and require complex programming for basic functionality," Colin Angle, chairman and CEO of iRobot, said.

At the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Philadelphia, the US, the company said it aims to develop "an autonomous device capable of household chores and other tasks".
