iRobot is more than 30 years old. It has sold more robots than anybody else in history. It was a big success for a long time, and made its founders and backers rich. I don't think their stagnation can be blamed on Brooks. Companies come and go.
- blagie 3y agoI agree. However, I also don't think it's success can be attributed to Brooks either. He's not very good for much of anything, except making himself be known as a famous roboticist. The company was successful due to other folks there. It is failing for the same reason. Brooks was a fine figurehead, but that doesn't make a successful company.
