Earlier this week, iRobot revealed that it had laid off another 105 employees. The move was part of extended restructuring as the Roomba maker determines how to move forward after a proposed Amazon acquisition fell through. Similarly, Bowery Farming, the robot-powered vertical farming startup, quietly closed up shop.
