BURLINGTON, Mass., Sept. 28, 2006 — iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ: IRBT) today announced Gregory White, president of iRobot Home Robots, will retire in 2007 to explore a career in education. White will continue in his role as division president until his successor is named.

“Greg has done an outstanding job of running the business and establishing iRobot as a leader in the home robots category,” said Colin Angle, co-founder and chief executive officer of iRobot. “This move is also an opportunity to hire an executive who can build on Greg’s legacy and lead iRobot into new global markets.”
