It's interesting that Rod Brooks has been erased from the history of Roomba. He's not even mentioned in the Wikipedia article.

- JKCalhoun 11mo agoI see him (Rodney) in both the Roomba and iRobot articles.
- Animats 11mo agoThe Roomba is not in the Rodney Brooks article.
- arjie 11mo agoWith Wikipedia, most things are less erasure and more incompleteness. I looked at the Rodney Brooks article and couldn't find an easy way to introduce the Roomba into it without sounding stilted[0] since I don't know how involved he was in the creation of the device and I don't know enough about the company to make an educated guess. If you know how he was involved perhaps you could share some links to news and so on that says so. I don't mind fixing the Wikipedia article to appropriately link. 0: The best effort I could make would be to edit "He is a founder and former Chief Technical Officer of iRobot" to say "He is a founder and former Chief Technical Officer of iRobot (manufacturer of the Roomba)"
