Apple Eyes Home Robots As Potential Next Big Thing by DrMB: 3:31pm On Apr 04
Apple is reportedly exploring the development of home robots, with sources suggesting this could be their next major product line. Engineers are investigating two concepts: a mobile robot that can follow users around and a robotic tabletop device with a moving display.

This news comes after Apple shelved its electric vehicle project. The company seems to be actively searching for its next big innovation. While still in the early stages, these home robots could potentially revolutionize the way we interact with our living spaces.

While electric vehicles have grabbed headlines, Apple's foray into mixed reality with the Apple Vision Pro headset shouldn't be overlooked. This innovative product offers a glimpse into the future, but its limited availability and premium price tag might hinder widespread adoption for now.

Early Ideas for Apple Home Robots

The tabletop device initially piqued the interest of Apple executives a few years ago. Ideas for its functionality included a display that could mimic head movements during video calls, such as nodding, and the ability to lock onto a specific person in a group.

The mobile robot's functionalities are yet to be revealed, but it can be assumed that, similar to other home robots on the market, it would likely offer features that enhance home maintenance and improvement.
