The saddest news is that they are down to like 4 mechanical engineers. There were at least 30 when I was working there.

I was told all the engineering actually gets done by the contractors in China. The engineers just send a wish list and the China team hacks it together.

iRobot not going to make it. 4 engineers can’t innovate just like that.

I used to work at iRobot. Chinese manufacturers cloned Roomba so well that parts from their robot like wheels assemblies could be dropped in and the Roomba would work.

The issue is that iRobot decided not to litigate patent infringement in China because it’s an uphill battle.

I agree that iRobot was very slow to innovate. They were on the brink of releasing a lawn mower robot but covid hit and the C suites made the decision to kill that product and fire that team to reduce risk…

No.

Haussmanian , as in multi-story mixed use buildings : 6 or 7 floors. Bottom floor is for businesses. Top floor is subdivided in small but cheap one bedrooms. Built in an H, O or U footprint with a central courtyard for the whole building to share. Facade can have art nouveau architectural elements but whatever is cheap is good.
