"There's been quite a bit going on with the Boston-based robotics companies lately. Here's a quick roundup:\n\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;iRobot can't seem to go long without making news, and the last couple weeks have been no exception. Not only did CTO Rod Brooks leave to start &lt;a href=\"http://www.heartlandrobotics.com/\"&gt;a new company&lt;/a&gt; (as &lt;a href=\"http://blogs.spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/2008/09/03/former_csail_director_and_irobot_cto_launches_new_robotics_startup.html\"&gt;reported last week&lt;/a&gt;), but &lt;a href=\"http://store.irobot.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=2968272\"&gt;a couple new Roomba versions were released&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=\"http://www.irobot.com/sp.cfm?pageid=86&amp;id=417&amp;referrer=28\"&gt;news of another underwater robotic technology acquisition&lt;/a&gt; was announced. The Nekton purchase, together with &lt;a href=\"http://www.irobot.com/sp.cfm?pageid=86&amp;id=399&amp;referrer=85\"&gt;the Seaglider license they acquired&lt;/a&gt; back in June, shows they're making &lt;a href=\"http://www.irobot.com/sp.cfm?pageid=393\"&gt;an aggressive grab for a piece of the UUV market&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;hellip;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
