iRobot, the Massachusetts-based company best known for its Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners, filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 14.
The company said on Dec. 14 that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by its secured lender and primary manufacturer, Picea Robotics, through a court-supervised process. The transaction would take iRobot private and end the listing of its shares on the Nasdaq.
