Overview
The iRobot Roomba j7 is a self-navigating robot vacuum manufactured by iRobot, now a subsidiary of Amazon following the 2023 acquisition. It uses PrecisionVision Navigation combining camera-based visual SLAM with Imprint Smart Mapping to recognize and avoid household obstacles including cords, socks, and pet waste.
The j7+ variant includes a Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal station holding up to 60 days of debris. Released in September 2021, the Roomba j7 processes all camera data on the robot; no images are transmitted to iRobot's cloud. Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri Shortcuts.
