It also features a unique roller mop that cleans edges and avoids carpets.

These releases are the first for Roomba in the U.S. following its bankruptcy filing and acquisition by Picea Robotics late last year. The new models are available for purchase today on iRobot's website, showcasing the company's renewed presence in the consumer robotics market.
