"For a pure play in automated and remotely controlled vehicles, consider iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT)," says Jim Powell. Here's the latest from his Global Changes & Opportunities Report.

"The company is best known for its Roomba vacuum cleaners that wander around the house bumping into everything and setting off security alarms.

"A similar product cleans the surface of swimming pools. iRobot also makes automated mail and product delivery carts for businesses.

IRBT is one of the leaders in robotics technology with products designed for both the consumer market and the military.  With this broad range of products, IRBT is poised to profit from the growth of the use of robotics in both of these markets.  The company has recently reaffirmed 2008 guidance for revenues of $295 - $305 million which is in line with analysts' expectations for the year.  More military orders have been received recently.  The stock has moved above resistance around $14 and is showing very good relative strength.  I would expect the stock to move to next resistance near $18...

So there is no huge urgency to fulfill their potential. Meta trend? Absolutely. That's why I agree with Bryan Stabile's take on this issue. The robots will take over the world, but it will take time. By holding on from here, you'll be able to look the grandkids in the eye and say, "yep, my 10 shares back in aught-eight helped build that grass mowing robot that's saving your lazy butt from chores i had to do at your age."

<>Did you forget about iRobot's Droid Factory?
Today marks a new 52-week low for iRobot Corporation (IRBT) after the stock made a comeback late last year, it just hasn't been able to keep the momentum. Tuesday after reporting a Q4 loss and providing a 2007 guidance that was below Wall Street expectations, shares fell 12%. So what's to like? Wall Street needs to consider iRobot's intellectual property - all their wonderful patents, brilliant inventions, and technology. Give it 10 years and iRobot will be the company that sells the first R2 unit or T-1000. <><><>Article continued..at the Stockmaster...

First off, at the time of this writing the stock was down at about $16.20 in extended hours trading--despite it showing as $19.09 by SocialPicks.  4Q06 revenue for IRBT was way up, as were gross profits.  But a quarterly net loss has sent the market running.  There was a near doubling of research and development for the quarter, and if you move this increase in R&D spending into income, the company would have posted a huge YOY net profit for the quarter vs. 2005.  I, for one, am glad to see a focus on R&D at iRobot.  To be a blockbuster company, they're eventually going to have to move beyo...

You got to buy a Roomba to fully understand why this is a good pick. Excellent DOD contracts, mean IRBT is never going to hurt. Even if the democrats completely strip the military budget in 2008, robots will still be funded well because it'll promote less american casualties. The vacumn cleaners are solid pieces of construction, and make an excellent gift, your recievers will love them, and spend an inordinate amount of time anthropomorphizing them. This stock is in the basement currently, lot of options were exercised last year. Take this one while it's low, because this company can only g...

Nice bump after hours. I'm excited about the military application long term.... but I'm also a real sucker for the robot maid from the jetsons. These guys have a good handle on making robots friendly. I think that's one of the real challenges on getting any kind of adoption. They aren't the best or the most complicated, but that, I think, is a goo dthing.
