It now comes equipped with a Wireless Control Center, which allows people to exert better, more precise control over their [robotic vacuum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krcher-rvf-7-comfort-extra). Instead of letting the outdated Roomba putter around the house like a little old lady set in her ways, the iRobot Roomba 790 cleans areas that need immediate attention rather than getting to it later. The Wireless Control Center uses a radio frequency to direct it. The remote has directional buttons for steering the Roomba and a large one with the word 'CLEAN' on it to command it to do just that when the time comes. Additional buttons conveniently and easily set the onboard clock, [schedule a cleaning time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-combo-2-essential) and send it back to its dock. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wireless Robotic Vacuums:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop wireless control centers for other robotic devices to enhance control and convenience. - **Precise Robotic Navigation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Improve robotic vacuum navigation algorithms to allow for more precise cleaning and targeted attention. - **Smart Home Cleaning Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate robotic vacuums with smart home systems for seamless automation and optimized cleaning schedules. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Automation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine wireless control centers with other smart home devices to create a comprehensive home automation system. - **Robotics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate navigation and control technologies for a wide range of robotic devices beyond vacuum cleaners. - **Cleaning Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement robotic vacuums in professional cleaning services to improve efficiency and accuracy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Robotic Vacuum Range Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/irobots-new-robovacs.md) - [Security-Enhancing Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remote-checkin.md) - [Debris-Compacting Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-205-dustcompactor-combo-robot.md) - [Smart Automated Home Cleaners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genius-4.md) - [Advanced 2-in-1 Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2in1-roomba.md) - [Hands-Free Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s7-max-ultra.md) - [Automated Low-Maintenance Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-combo-j9.md) - [Automated Coverage Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-max-705-combo.md) - [Automatic Maintenance Robot Vacuums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roomba-combo-10-max.md)
