<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;I am very excited to join iRobot. This is the time when the development of consumer robotics and
related technologies has advanced to the point where products can effectively and reliably execute
tasks that were unthinkable just a few years ago,&#148; said Beck. &#147;Consumers are increasingly receptive
to the delegation of tasks to robotic solutions. iRobot is well positioned to extend its leadership
in this growing industry.&#148;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Previously, Beck held senior management positions at Danaher Corporation and Emerson Electric
Corporation. At Danaher, Beck oversaw the growth of the company&#146;s Precision Systems division, which
manufactured high-precision robotic, electromechanical systems used in a variety of high-tech
manufacturing and laboratory environments. Beck holds a bachelor&#146;s degree in mechanical engineering
from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and a master&#146;s degree in business administration from
Boston University.
