iRobot has released its newest addition in home cleaning assistance. The Braava Floor Mopping Robot was created to help with maintaining the homes cleanliness level with the pressing of a button. 



The Braava has a dry and wet mop setting that can be used with a flick of a switch. As soon as the start button is pushed, the robot cleans an area of a house and returns to its original location as soon as it has finished. It is also wired to be able to recognize and avoid stairs, drop offs, and carpet.   



“Braava is a great complement to our already strong suite of home robots,” said Christian Cerda, senior vice president and general manager of the Home Robots business unit at iRobot, in a press release. 



To date, iRobot sold more than 10 million home robots worldwide.
