Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman claims that Apple is exploring personal robotics. The company has reportedly been working on robots and electric cars at the same time, hoping to develop a machine that does not require human intervention.
And while Apple's robot projects are still in their early stages, Bloomberg reports that the Cupertino giant is already working on a mobile robot that can follow a user around their home and has already developed a desktop device that uses a robot to move the screen. The idea is to have a machine that can mimic head movements and focus on one person in a group, presumably for a better video call experience.
Since these robots are supposed to move on their own, Apple is considering using algorithms for navigation. According to reports, Apple's home devices team is in charge of their development, and at least one engineer who worked on the now-defunct electric vehicle development project has joined it.
However, robots are not like cell phones in the sense that people need them in their lives today. Apple is worried about whether people will want to spend a lot of money on robots, and officials still can't reach an agreement on whether the company should continue working on these projects. Gruman previously stated that Apple intended to sell its electric car for $100,000. and from this it can be concluded that he had great potential in terms of the growth of the company's income.
But the Apple Car is no longer relevant, and the company is focusing on the Vision Pro and other products intended for the home, which include a home hub device with a screen similar to that of an iPad.
Of course, Apple could abandon these projects at any time and could move on to developing other classes of products if it found that they could bring in more money in the future.
