Angle's leadership has transformed iRobot, once a Massachusetts Institute of Technology spin-off, into a global leader of practical robots. Under his leadership, iRobot has delivered more than 13 million home cleaning, remote presence and military robots that empower people to do more. In iRobot's early days, Angle and his team designed the behavior-controlled rovers for NASA that led to the Sojourner exploring Mars in 1997. Angle's team won the NASA Group Achievement Award for its accomplishments, and his name is inscribed inside the case of Spirit, the Mars exploration rover on display at NASA. His master thesis at MIT produced Genghis, a six-legged autonomous walking robot that is now at the Smithsonian National Air and Science Museum. Angle has been named CEO of the Year by the Mass Technology Leadership Council and one of Fortune Small Business Magazine's Best Bosses. He has appeared on CNN, CNBC and other programs, and profiled in outlets such as BusinessWeek, CNET and more.
