Apple's Robotic Ambitions: ₹84,000 Home Robot in the Works
By MYBRANDBOOK
Apple is reportedly working on a new innovative product: a tabletop robot featuring an iPad-like display and a robotic limb. This device is believed to combine Apple's expertise in hardware, software, and artificial intelligence to create a multifunctional robot that could potentially serve various roles in both home and office settings.
The development of a high-end tabletop home device that integrates an iPad-like display with a robotic limb, signaling the company's push into innovative home technology. This device, which represents a new revenue stream for Apple, is being developed by a team of several hundred people.
The key feature of this product is a thin robotic arm that can move a large screen around. Using actuators, the arm allows the display to tilt up and down and rotate 360 degrees, providing dynamic interaction capabilities. This design is intended to offer a unique experience compared to existing home products like Amazon’s Echo Show 10 and Meta’s now-discontinued Portal.
The robot is expected to have an iPad-style screen, likely serving as the main interface for interaction, similar to existing smart displays but with added capabilities. The robotic limb could provide physical interaction with objects, potentially enabling tasks such as handling items, providing assistance with household chores, or interacting with other smart devices.
This development aligns with Apple's ongoing exploration of robotics and AI, following its investments in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and other advanced technologies. The concept of a robot with a familiar Apple interface suggests that the company is aiming to create an intuitive and user-friendly experience, leveraging the iPad's existing ecosystem of apps and services.
While details about this project are still limited, it reflects Apple's broader strategy to expand into new product categories and integrate its devices more deeply into users' daily lives. The release timeline and specific functionalities of the robot are yet to be revealed, but it could represent a significant step forward in the consumer robotics market.
