Everybody’s favorite autonomous Roomba ~~slave~~ cleaning robot vacuum just got updated with a new “Wireless Command Center” remote. With it, you can now guide the new Roomba 790 over to any patch of crumbs, dirt or dust and start cleaning ASAP.

Using a radio frequency, the Wireless Command Center remote has directional buttons for steering the Roomba, a giant “Clean” button to start up the vac’s suction, a button to set the onboard clock, a button to schedule a cleaning time, a button to send it back to its dock and a button that tells the Roomba to clean a specific spot.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
