Due to its small size and low cost, the iRobot Create is popular in the robotic research community. In particular, research projects in the area of multi-robot networks favors the Create robot. Examples:
- Autonomy Laboratory, Simon Fraser University (R. Vaughan) -emergent object clustering behavior. Website
- Human-Automation Systems Laboratory, Georgia Institute of Technology - Persistent Formation Control for Multi-Robot Networks.
- The iRobot Create was given out in parts kits for the International Botball Competition between 2007 and 2009
- The iRobot Create is used as the main platform for the Autonomous Robotics course at Brown University.
- The iRobot Create and a simulator developed in MATLAB are used in the Autonomous Mobile Robots course at Cornell University. Website
- LAIRS Laboratory, University at Buffalo (Dick Leebo) -Attitude and Angular Velocity Estimation Research.

Famous quotes containing the word community:
“Jesus would recommend you to pass the first day of the week rather otherwise than you pass it now, and to seek some other mode of bettering the morals of the community than by constraining each other to look grave on a Sunday, and to consider yourselves more virtuous in proportion to the idleness in which you pass one day in seven.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
“I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“This is the only “wet” community in a wide area, and is the rendezvous of cow hands seeking to break the monotony of chuck wagon food and range life. Friday night is the “big time” for local cowboys, and consequently the calaboose is called the “Friday night jail.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
