扫地机器人，最早是美国人做出来炫技的，高端、前卫、科技感满满；结果兜兜转转三十多年，现在把它做得最猛、卖得最火、玩得最溜的，成了中国公司。 当年那个开山鼻祖宣布破产后，背后接管人实在是令人意外，竟是中国企业。 美国企业巨头怎么一步步被中国品牌追上、超过，最后连话语权都没了。 iRobot的开局其实挺传奇，1990年，三个麻省理工的教授一拍即合，把课堂上的机器人研究搬进现实世界，干脆自己成立公司。

真正要命的是，价格和性能的组合被彻底比下去。iRobot的旗舰机型动辄一千多美元，中国产品做到了其三分之一的价位，还能拿出更强的清洁能力、更好的边角覆盖、更长的续航，这种差距之下，消费者会怎么选，其实没什么悬念。
