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:
“Justice begins with the recognition of the necessity of sharing. The oldest law is that which regulates it, and this is still the most important law today and, as such, has remained the basic concern of all movements which have at heart the community of human activities and of human existence in general.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“The most perfect political community must be amongst those who are in the middle rank, and those states are best instituted wherein these are a larger and more respectable part, if possible, than both the other; or, if that cannot be, at least than either of them separate, so that being thrown into the balance it may prevent either scale from preponderating.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
