No need to sudo on the port. As tonybaltovski suggests you only need to be in the dialout group. I had a similar issue with the iRoomba create 2 and I fixed it by doing:

sudo adduser <your-username> dialout

and very,very,VERY important: don't forget to logout and login back on your machine for the changes to be applied :)
