The multinational Dyson, famous for its vacuum cleaners, wants to market machines capable of performing complex tasks such as washing dishes by 2030. The company has released prototypes that have been kept secret until then.
In photos released Tuesday from the International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Philadelphia, the company demonstrated the impressive motor skills of its prototype robotic arms. .
This delicate grip makes it possible, in particular, to handle fragile objects, such as dishes, without damaging them. We see arms lifting plates from a dish rack, vacuuming a sofa and moving a stuffed animal.
Dyson said it wants to thrive a stand-alone device capable of doing household chores. The company, which is now headquartered in Singapore but was born in the UK, also says it is embarking on a massive recruitment drive for engineers.
The manufacturer also wants to create the largest robotics research center in the UK.
It’s a big bet on the future of robotics technology that will drive company -wide research, into mechanical engineering, vision systems, machine learning and energy storage.confirmed Jake Dyson, son of founder James Dyson, in a press release.
