iRobot unveils the Roomba Duo, a concept device shown at IFA in Berlin. The system pairs a larger floor-washing unit with a smaller, slim Roomba-style robot. iRobot says the two units can operate together around a home, with the main unit handling broader mopping and sweeping tasks while the smaller unit navigates alongside it.
According to outlet descriptions and iRobot’s event materials, the design uses a mechanical deployment arm and a unified self-navigating base station to coordinate the two robots. The main unit is positioned as a heavy-duty floor cleaner, while the sub-unit is described as an ultra-slim companion. iRobot presents the architecture as a step toward future floor-care solutions built on familiar Roomba branding, though both sources describe it primarily as a concept rather than a finalized product.
Across the coverage, the key focus is the two-part, coordinated approach and the hardware features used to deploy and manage the robots, rather than detailed pricing, release timing, or independent testing.
