Who is Wyatt Biggs? The 8-year-old Florida boy obsessed with robot vacuums A collection of more than 50 robot vacuums Building ' Wyatt's World of Roombas ' Becoming a children's book author Inspiring young STEM enthusiasts Eight-year-old Wyatt Biggs from Florida has transformed an unusual fascination with robot vacuums into a thriving online brand. What began as a childhood obsession with a family Roomba at the age of three has grown into a collection of more than 50 robot vacuums, a YouTube channel, a children's book and a merchandise business that has reportedly earned up to $1,800 in its best month. His journey has attracted millions of views online, been featured by major media outlets and made him one of the internet's youngest robotics enthusiasts.Wyatt's fascination with robot vacuums began when he was just three years old, shortly after the birth of his younger brother. According to his mother, Sara Biggs, the family's Roomba became a source of comfort, much like a favourite toy or blanket for other children.
Instead of simply watching it clean, Wyatt became curious about how the machine worked. His parents later introduced a dedicated daily "Roomba time" so he could spend time with his growing collection, and he eventually joined a local robotics club to explore his interest in technology further.Wyatt's curiosity quickly evolved into hands-on learning. At the age of three, he reportedly picked up a screwdriver, dismantled one of the family's robot vacuums and carefully reassembled it.Remarkably, the machine still worked afterwards. Since then, he has taught himself how different robot vacuums operate, learning to identify faulty motors, worn brushes, damaged wheels and battery issues. He has repaired numerous donated machines, with some returned to their owners after being restored to working condition.As word of Wyatt's unusual hobby spread, friends, neighbours and members of the local community began donating old or broken robot vacuums. Some were repaired and returned, while others became part of his expanding collection. Today, Wyatt owns more than 50 robot vacuums, including models from iRobot and several other manufacturers.
Many of the machines were considered beyond repair before reaching him, giving Wyatt the opportunity to restore them, compare different models and better understand how robotic cleaning technology works.To share his passion with others, Wyatt and his family launched the YouTube channel "Wyatt's World of Roombas." The channel features robot vacuum reviews, repair tutorials, restoration projects, product comparisons and technology demonstrations. One of his most popular videos shows more than 50 robot vacuums operating simultaneously, attracting millions of views across YouTube and other social media platforms. His content has introduced viewers around the world to the technology behind consumer robotics in an engaging and accessible way.Wyatt's growing online following inspired his family to launch a robot vacuum-themed merchandise business after discovering there were few products for children who shared his interest. The store sells T-shirts, backpacks and other accessories inspired by robot vacuums and Wyatt's online brand. According to his family, the venture has generated up to $1,800 in profit during its best month, while also connecting them with families whose children have similar interests in robotics and engineering.Wyatt has also ventured into publishing.
