Ahead of the 2024 US presidential election, the Justice Department has unveiled charges against three Iranian hackers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40933501/us-intel-agencies-reveal-iran-tried-to-share-hacked-trump-campaign-data-with-team-biden-fbi-says-no">accused of disrupting</a> Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign.
What Happened: The U.S. Justice Department unsealed charges against three Iranian hackers for disrupting Donald Trump&#8217;s presidential campaign, Reuters reported on Friday.
The accused are members of Iran&#8217;s Revolutionary Guards Corps. They allegedly targeted the Nov. 5 election between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Iran dismissed the accusations as baseless. The Justice Department has also targeted Russian election interference, charging and sanctioning state media employees for funding pro-Trump influencers.

Attorney General Merrick Garland stated that the hackers — Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri, and Yasar Balaghi — aimed to undermine Trump&#8217;s campaign. &#8220;We are seeing increasingly aggressive Iranian cyber activity during this election cycle,&#8221; Garland said.
The indictment alleges the hackers used fake email accounts to deceive campaign officials, stealing emails and internal documents, which were then leaked to the media and Joe Biden&#8216;s campaign. Charges include wire fraud, identity theft, and computer fraud.
The U.S. Treasury Department also imposed sanctions on the three men and other Revolutionary Guard members. The hackers are currently in Iran, out of U.S. law enforcement&#8217;s reach. Garland emphasized the Justice Department&#8217;s commitment to pursuing these individuals indefinitely.
Why It Matters: The charges against the Iranian hackers come amid heightened concerns over foreign interference in U.S. elections.
In August, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40303972/trump-campaign-falls-victim-to-cyber-attack-heightening-election-security-fears">Trump&#8217;s campaign</a> confirmed a security breach, believed to be orchestrated by foreign entities hostile to the U.S. This breach included the theft of internal documents, which were later leaked to the media.
Furthermore, Meta Platforms Inc. also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40541547/heres-how-meta-thwarted-iranian-hackers-attempt-to-target-trump-and-biden">thwarted an attempt</a> by Iranian hackers to target both Trump and Biden&#8217;s campaigns via WhatsApp accounts linked to the hacking group APT42. This group has been identified by tech giants like Google as an &#8220;Iranian state-sponsored cyber espionage actor.&#8221;
In addition, U.S. intelligence agencies revealed that Iran tried to share hacked Trump campaign data with Biden&#8217;s team. According to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40933501/us-intel-agencies-reveal-iran-tried-to-share-hacked-trump-campaign-data-with-team-biden-fbi-says-no">joint statement</a> by the FBI, ODNI, and CISA, Iranian cyber actors sent unsolicited emails containing stolen Trump campaign material to individuals associated with Biden&#8217;s campaign.
Moreover, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40428036/openai-blocks-iranian-groups-chatgpt-accounts-for-targeting-us-election-says-covert-operation-did-no">OpenAI</a> uncovered and dismantled a covert Iranian influence operation using ChatGPT to manipulate public opinion during the 2024 elections. The operation, named Storm-2035, produced content on U.S. politics and the presidential election, shared via social media and websites posing as news outlets.

US Charges Iranian Hackers For Interfering In 2024 Presidential Election

Independent American journalist Ken Klippenstein has been indefinitely barred from using Elon Musk&#8217;s social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
What Happened: This action was taken after Klippenstein on Thursday published leaked documents allegedly associated with Sen.&nbsp;JD Vance&nbsp;(R-Ohio.), the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40993779/jd-vance-is-too-radical-and-needs-to-read-up-on-the-history-of-the-second-world-war-says-ukraines-pr">running mate of Republican candidate</a> Donald Trump.
In his newsletter, Klippenstein disclosed&nbsp;a 271-page opposition research file&nbsp;on Vance, which is suspected&nbsp;to be part of an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40933501/us-intel-agencies-reveal-iran-tried-to-share-hacked-trump-campaign-data-with-team-biden-fbi-says-no">Iranian scheme to influence</a> the U.S. election.
Following the publication of these files, Klippenstein was banned from X, where he had posted a link to his report and the dossier. Now, the independent journalist has asserted that his ban from X is permanent.
&#8220;Elon Musk is an outspoken supporter of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance's political campaign,&#8221; he said. 
Adding, &#8220;X clearly doesn't want to give the appearance that my ban was politically motivated. But a careful look at the pretext X cites for my suspension makes it obvious that this is political.&#8221;

Klippenstein also said that his article discloses less private information than&nbsp;the Hunter Biden laptop story, which Musk had previously criticized Twitter for blocking.
He also points out that any user who posts a link to his article on X gets their account locked, mirroring Twitter&#8217;s handling of&nbsp;the Hunter Biden laptop story.
The journalist went on to add that X usually offers users the chance to remove posts violating its policies to reinstate their accounts.
However, he claims he received no such offer. As a test, he and his editor redacted all &#8220;private&#8221; information from the Vance Dossier on Substack and filed an appeal, yet his ban remains.

Why It Matters: In December 2022, after Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion, several high-profile journalists&#8217; accounts were suspended over the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/12/30103562/what-gives-elon-musk-twitter-nukes-accounts-of-high-profile-journalists-over-new-doxxing-policy">platform&#8217;s new &#8220;doxxing&#8221; policy</a>.
Musk has repeatedly said that his acquisition of the social media site was primarily motivated by his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40785575/elon-musk-says-x-intends-to-obey-the-law-in-each-jurisdiction-but-if-free-speech-is-not-illegal-then">commitment to&nbsp;free speech</a>. However, the recent ban on Klippenstein raises questions about the platform&#8217;s commitment to these principles.
The tech mogul has previously also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/11/29864554/musk-says-twitter-ban-on-trump-was-grave-mistake-reveals-preferred-2024-presidential-candidate">criticized Twitter&nbsp;for banning</a> Trump and reinstated the former President&#8217;s account on X.
Meanwhile, Musk&#8217;s involvement with the Hunter Biden story was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/11/29850290/elon-musk-says-making-internal-twitter-conversations-on-hunter-biden-laptop-story-public-necessary-t">marked by his release</a> of internal Twitter communications that detail how the platform handled a controversial article from the&nbsp;New York Post&nbsp;in October 2020.
This article alleged corruption involving Hunter Biden, particularly focusing on emails from a laptop purportedly belonging to him.
At the time, Musk said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/11/29850290/elon-musk-says-making-internal-twitter-conversations-on-hunter-biden-laptop-story-public-necessary-t">revealing these documents</a> was &#8220;necessary to restore public trust.&#8221;

Elon Musk Gets Labelled As An 'Outspoken' Trump Supporter After Journalist Gets Banned On X For Publishing Leaked JD Vance Docs: 'This Is Political'

Israel has reportedly carried out a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/09/40909027/casualties-rise-from-exploding-hezbollah-pagers-us-says-it-had-no-advance-notice-of-coordinated-atta">large-scale airstrike</a> on the southern suburbs of Beirut, aiming at the leader of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah.
What Happened: The airstrike, which occurred on Friday, was directed at Nasrallah, who has been at the helm of Hezbollah for over three decades, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/israel-says-it-shot-down-missile-fired-from-yemen-b67c7dc5?mod=hp_lead_pos1">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal, citing people briefed on the attack.
The assault led to the destruction of several buildings, thought to be the main headquarters of Hezbollah. Nasrallah&#8217;s fate is still uncertain.
Ali al-Harakah, a local municipal official, reported numerous explosions in the Haret Hreik neighborhood, causing significant damage and possible casualties.
High-ranking officials from Hezbollah and Iran&#8217;s&nbsp;Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were&nbsp;allegedly at the site during the attack.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41061814/british-pm-dines-with-trump-skips-meeting-with-kamala-harris-due-to-usual-diary-challenges?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">British PM Dines With Trump, Skips Meeting With Kamala Harris Due To &#8216;Usual Diary Challenges&#8217;</a>
After the initial attack, Israel&#8217;s military issued warnings to residents in certain Beirut neighborhoods, advising them to evacuate ahead of planned operations against three buildings with strategic underground capabilities, the report noted.
Additional strikes were carried out in the southern suburbs of Beirut later that night.
This aggressive action is part of Israel&#8217;s ongoing efforts to prevent Hezbollah from launching attacks&nbsp;across the Lebanese border into&nbsp;Israel.
If Nasrallah&#8217;s death is confirmed, it would deal a significant blow to Hezbollah and Iran.
Why It Matters: The strike occurred shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41071612/netanyahu-defends-israels-actions-at-un-as-tensions-with-hezbollah-escalate">delivered his speech</a> at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
He defended Israel's actions in Gaza and Lebanon at the assembly, dismissing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40977597/us-warns-israel-against-opening-a-full-blown-war-against-hezbollah-as-air-strikes-kill-30-in-lebanon">international demands for a ceasefire</a>. &#8220;We will not accept a terror army perched on our northern border able to perpetrate another Oct. 7-style massacre,&#8221; he said.
On Thursday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told world leaders at the UN General Assembly that Israeli strikes have led to water shortages, the spread of disease, and dwindling supplies of basic medicines.
It has also been reported that Israel intends to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/41056542/israel-plans-to-disrupt-arms-delivery-from-iran-to-lebanon-in-motion-as-palestinian-president-cr">disrupt arms transfers</a> from Iran to Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40920151/china-slams-us-for-shielding-israel-blocking-gaza-ceasefire-efforts-as-war-nears-1-year">China accused&nbsp;the U.S.</a> of shielding Israel and obstructing ceasefire efforts.
China&#8217;s accusation comes against the backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions. In April, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38267600/amid-iran-israel-tensions-china-affirms-support-for-tehran-strengthens-ties">China reinforced its support</a> for Tehran, deepening its ties with Iran after the latter&#8217;s direct attack on Israel.

Peering Into Keurig Dr Pepper's Recent Short Interest

Deere &amp; Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/de#NYSE">DE</a>) has recalled about 147,900 compact utility tractors in the United States due to a potential brake failure risk, per reports. This voluntary recall will ensure customer safety.
The recall applies to models 1023E, 1025R and 2025R sold between November 2017 and July 2024. In Canada, the company has recalled another 16,800 of the compact utility tractor models.
The front bell crank in the brake linkage of the recalled tractors may break, endangering users in the event of a crash, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (&quot;CPSC&quot;). There have been four reports of brake linkage failure in the United States so far, with one hospitalization, two impact injuries and minor damages to the tractors.
<h2>Deere&#39;s Commitment to Safety</h2>
The company is proactively addressing the issue in collaboration with the U.S. CPSC.
Deere instructed the impacted customers not to operate their tractors until they receive a free repair from an authorized Deere dealer. Customers have easy access to repair services due to over 2,000 dealerships in the United States and Canada. If the consumer is unable to move the tractor to a dealer&#39;s site, the company will arrange to repair the unit at the consumer&#39;s home.
<h2>DE&#39;s Topline Dips Y/Y in Q3</h2>
Deere reported third-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings of $6.29 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.80. The bottom line, however, plunged 38% from the prior-year quarter.
This was due to lower shipment volumes across all segments, reflecting weak demand, which was somewhat negated by the company&#39;s pricing strategies and cost-saving measures.
Net sales of equipment operations (comprising Agriculture, and Turf, Construction and Forestry) were $11.39 billion, down 19.9% year over year. However, net sales topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10.87 billion. Total net sales (including financial services and others) were $13.15 billion, down 16.8% year over year.
<h2>Deere&#39;s 2024 Net Income Outlook Indicates Y/Y Dip</h2>
Deere stated that in the wake of challenging conditions in the global agricultural and construction sectors, the company will align its production with demand levels and also take steps to reduce costs. Deere maintained its guidance of net income for fiscal 2024 at $7 billion. The view suggests a 31% decline from net income of $10.2 billion reported in fiscal 2023.
Net sales for Production &amp; Precision Agriculture are expected to decrease 20-25% year over year in fiscal 2024. Sales of Small Agriculture &amp; Turf are expected to dip 20-25%. Deere projects sales of Construction &amp; Forestry to be down 10-15%. The Financial Services segment&#39;s net income is expected to be $720 million.
<h2>DE Share Price Outperforms Industry</h2>
DE shares have gained 8.7% in the past year compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 4%.

AECOM (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acm#NYSE">ACM</a>) won a contract from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) to provide program management, design and engineering services.
Banking on its Sustainable Legacies strategy, ACM will support Metro&#39;s ambitious goal of transitioning its bus fleet to Zero Emission Buses. Also, it will focus on charging infrastructure conceptual design, specification, and procurement. Its expertise will help guide the seamless transition to zero-emission operations, offering innovative solutions to complex transportation challenges.
The sustainable and efficient transit system aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving air quality for Los Angeles County residents. On an impressive note, the initiative is one of the largest electric bus programs in the United States and is supported by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
<h2>ACM&#39;s Stock Performance</h2>
The company&#39;s shares have gained 11.6% so far this year, which is nearly one-third of the Zacks Engineering - R and D Services industry&#39;s 36.2% growth.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/db/79473.jpg?v=371988059" />

This Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) company has been ailing from labor shortages, particularly in skilled trades. Inflationary pressures, particularly in raw materials and energy, could also be bothering margins. This apart, broader economic uncertainties, such as fears of a recession or global economic slowdown, might be impacting the infrastructure sector. Investors could be cautious about long-term infrastructure spending, especially if government funding slows down.
<h2>ACM&#39;s Strong Backlog &amp; Global Demand Drive Raises Hope</h2>
Mitigating the above-mentioned headwinds, AECOM has been experiencing robust growth across all its segments, backed by strong pipeline visibility for the upcoming quarters. Healthy state and local budgets, along with increased private sector investments in water and energy transitions, have contributed to this upward trend.
Additionally, the U.K. water market is expected to see accelerated growth over the next five years, driven by a near doubling of AMP8 funding. AECOM&#39;s deep expertise with major water utilities positions it well to benefit from this expansion.
Global demand for infrastructure development is rising, further increasing the need for AECOM&#39;s services. As of the fiscal third-quarter end, the total backlog was $23.36 billion compared with $23.21 billion reported in the prior-year period. The current backlog level includes 54.8% contracted backlog growth.
Ongoing contract wins are expected to boost prospects. Global infrastructure spending trends remain strong, providing further opportunities for AECOM&#39;s continued expansion.
<h2>Key Picks</h2>
Some better-ranked stocks in the same space are:

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Robotics stocks are a good investment as the industry is rapidly progressing.&nbsp;



Robotics stocks have great potential to increase their revenues in the future due to the increased usage of robots in different industries due to technological developments. As a result of the growing need for automation solutions, the firms operating in this area may prove to be good investment targets.&nbsp;



AI and machine learning&nbsp;<a href="https://www.simplilearn.com/tutorials/artificial-intelligence-tutorial/artificial-intelligence-applications" target="_blank">technologies are propelling robotic systems</a>. These technologies allow robots to work with better precision and clarity than humans.&nbsp;



Although robotics stocks may be speculative in the future, investing in them could significantly improve the growth potential of one&rsquo;s overall portfolio. What&rsquo;s better is that one can choose from pure-play robotics stocks or invest in companies that use robotics as an additional catalyst, which may help reduce downside risks.



So here are seven robotics stocks for investors to consider to aggressively grow a portfolio.



<h2>UiPath (PATH)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/path1600-300x169.png" alt="In this photo illustration the UiPath (PATH) logo is displayed on a smartphone."><div>Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com</div></div>UiPath (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/path-stock-quote/">PATH</a>) specializes in robotic process automation (RPA).



I am quite optimistic about UiPath because the company has outstanding technical potential that makes it one of the leading players in enterprise automation. UiPath&rsquo;s principal competitive advantage is AI integration, which it does through its own DocPath <a href="https://www.manufacturingtodayindia.com/uipath-enhances-business-automation-platform-with-genai-powered-features/">technology</a>. DocPath&rsquo;s document processing abilities are claimed to be superior to generative AI models, with error rates that are 45% to 76% lower, which will be a major advantage when it comes to handling unstructured data, a key problem area.&nbsp;



From my perspective, UiPath is expected to deepen its automation capabilities in the near future, which may allow it to automate the entire process with the help of natural language processing for the execution of the workflow. Due to the company&rsquo;s technological leadership, I am quite bullish on the company&rsquo;s future in this high-growth market.



Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts continue to&nbsp;<a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/path/forecast/" target="_blank">favor</a>&nbsp;PATH, as the company is expected to achieve double-digit EPS increases.



<h2>Rhythm Technologies (IRTC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/health-medical-heart-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="hands holding a red heart shape against blue background symbolizing health"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/Anastasia Zagoruyko</div></div>iRhythm Technologies (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/irtc-stock-quote/">IRTC</a>) focuses on wearable biosensing technology.



Specifically, the company offers highly effective cardiac monitoring devices incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify arrhythmia. The Zio monitors, iRhythm&rsquo;s main product, are <a href="https://www.irhythmtech.com/providers/zio-service/zio-monitors">favored</a> in the ambulatory cardiac monitoring segment due to the enhanced diagnostic capability over the Holter monitors.&nbsp;



In addition, iRhythm&rsquo;s AI analytics are superior at identifying a vast number of heart rhythms. This is due to the company&rsquo;s technology-driven product portfolio, which makes it one of the key players in facilitating the change from traditional and less efficient methods of cardiac monitoring to more patient-friendly styles.&nbsp;



Like some of the other robotics stocks to buy on this list, IRTC is also a company worth considering. Analysts rate it as a strong buy, and there is also an implied <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/irtc/forecast/">upside</a> of over 29% at the time of writing.



<h2>Intuitive Surgical (ISRG)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/isrg-stock-300x169.jpg" alt='An image of a white, grey, and orange sign with the "Intuitive Surgical" logo and number "1020" on a patch of grass in front of a white, grey, and orange building on a sunny day.'><div>Source: michelmond / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/isrg-stock-quote/">ISRG</a>) is a leader in robotic-assisted surgical systems. This is why I think It is a great stock to own, as it is changing the way medical professionals perform surgery.&nbsp;



Intuitive&rsquo;s da Vinci robots remain the most widely used robotic systems for surgery. They are characterized by high accuracy, flexibility, and visualization of the surgical field for the surgeon. This is seen in the company&rsquo;s development of the new&nbsp;da Vinci 5 system, proving that the company is determined to lead in this fast-developing field.&nbsp;



With more patients benefiting from robotic surgeries, Intuitive Surgical will be the main winner due to its leadership and product plan.&nbsp;



ISRG has an entrenched advantage given the high startup, maintenance and switching costs for robotic surgery devices. I expect that ISRG&rsquo;s market dominance will persist and its machines will remain inside hospitals.



<h2>ABB (ABBNY)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/utility-pole-aqn-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="multiple powerline towers are shown against a sunset and a distant city skyline. AQN stock"><div>Source: zhao jiankang / Shutterstock.com</div></div>ABB (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/aabny-stock-quote/">AABNY</a>) is a global leader in industrial automation and robotics. Its products are relevant to key trends such as power grid transformation and the integration of renewables. The company&rsquo;s medium-voltage switchgear, industrial robots, and motion control systems are indispensable in refurbishing dilapidated structures, increasing industrial production capacity, and improving the efficiency and conservation of electricity.



ABB&rsquo;s recent <a href="https://new.abb.com/news/detail/112930/abbs-cloud-based-collaboration-with-microsoft-boosts-project-execution-efficiency">partnership</a> with Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/msft-stock-quote/">MSFT</a>) is aimed at integrating generative AI into the company&rsquo;s industrial software and analytics. The effort is another example of how the company uses new technologies to augment the value of its primary products.



One thing I love about ABB is that it&rsquo;s one of the more <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/abbny/">established</a> robotics stocks that investors can consider. It has a market cap of around $102 billion at the time of writing. However, it still trades at a reasonable forward earnings valuation at just 22x.



<h2>Teradyne (TER)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/semiconductor1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="Close-up Presentation of a New Generation Microchip. Gloved Hand Holding Piece of Technological Wonder. Semiconductor stocks are in the news."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Teradyne (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ter-stock-quote/">TER</a>) is known for its semiconductor testing equipment. Semiconductors, in general, are high-growth areas, but when combined with robotics, I think you are left with a growth powerhouse. Therefore, I do believe that Teradyne has a very bright future.



Also, TER&rsquo;s <a href="https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/nvidia-teradyne-siemens-robotics-autonomous-machines-ai/">cooperation</a> with Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvda-stock-quote/">NVDA</a>) for AI and computer vision implementations in robotic systems shows the company&rsquo;s willingness to synergize its expertise with other industry leaders.



Because semiconductor devices&rsquo; complexity continuously increases and automation systems need to be improved and diversified, Teradyne&rsquo;s wide product portfolio and deep knowledge of the subject benefit its clients. This may help long-term retention and fortify the scaling of its earnings and revenue.



TER also benefits from some of the most aggressive EPS <a href="https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/ter/forecast/">forecasts</a> from analysts on this list, with it expected to grow in the low- to mid-double digits over the next few years. This then positions it as one of those robotics stocks for investors to consider.



<h2>iRobot Corporation (IRBT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/irbt1600-300x169.jpg" alt="An iRobot (IRBT) Roomba inside Saturn electronic store"><div>Source: Grzegorz Czapski / Shutterstock.com</div></div>iRobot (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/irbt-stock-quote/">IRBT</a>) is famous for its Roomba vacuum cleaners.



IRBT has immense unexplored opportunities from its many connected devices in people&rsquo;s homes. The Roomba brand in robotic home care has been around for quite some time now and is still innovating on its core features.



Also, the large market <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/934089/worldwide-robotic-vacuum-cleaner-market-share/">penetration</a> of Roomba products can be viewed as an opportunity to generate revenue from the accumulated data on sensors and usage statistics that can be provided to third parties under the license or through cooperation. Roomba had around a 46% stake in the global robotic vacuum cleaner market share in 2020. Despite losing market share in the last several years, iRobot retains its first-mover advantage, forming a powerful protective moat.



Thus, as the smart home ecosystem develops, the company&rsquo;s capacity to connect its products with new home automation systems is a promising prospect, and is a key reason I believe it&rsquo;s one of those robotics stocks to buy.



<h2>Boston Scientific (BSX)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/robotics-medical-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="robotic arms over medical bed symbolizing medical robotics. favorite robotics stocks to buy"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/MAD.vertise</div></div>Boston Scientific (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bsx-stock-quote/">BSX</a>) is a major player in the medical device field. Robotic surgery stocks generally have their own sphere of expertise. For BSX, it&rsquo;s creating robots to treat complex cardiac conditions.



Boston Scientific products incorporate AI and robotic systems to provide better patient care and improve providers&rsquo; work processes. The company&rsquo;s robust deal pipeline and history of successful acquisitions, including the forthcoming Axonics (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/axnx-stock-quote/">AXNX</a>) <a href="https://news.bostonscientific.com/2024-01-08-Boston-Scientific-Announces-Agreement-to-Acquire-Axonics,-Inc">acquisition</a>, put it in a good position to diversify and grow its business.



The company&rsquo;s robust pipeline and history of effective acquisitions allow it to expand on its current offerings and venture into new high-growth markets. With the advancement of minimally invasive and technologically advanced solutions in the medical field, Boston Scientific&rsquo;s innovative products make it a viable investment.&nbsp;



One growth angle for BSX is the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.iqvia.com/locations/united-states/blogs/2024/03/expanding-business-into-ambulatory-surgery-centers#:~:text=ASC%20migration,annual%20growth%20rate%20(CAGR)." target="_blank">rise</a>&nbsp;of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) in the U.S., which are alternatives to hospitals. This will allow it to compete with entrenched competitors in the space, such as ISRG, and will allow it to grow and maintain market share.
