Following the release of the Dyson Zone – high-fidelity ANC headphones with a built-in contactless visor that directs purified air to the nose and mouth, the Singaporean tech company now has given us a glimpse into its future in robotics.
Dyson is working on robots that will help humans carry out household chores.
“There is a big future in robotics,” says designer Jake Dyson. “Saving people time, performing chores for people, and improving people’s daily lives. I’m a parent, I spend half my life cleaning after my kids and it’s pretty tedious.”
Aside from its classic floor-cleaning robots, Dyson offers a first glimpse at its “secret robot prototypes” which are seen picking up teddy bears, arranging dishes, and vacuuming sofas.
In its “Perception Lab,” proprietary vision systems show off human-mapping and thermal imaging capabilities. “One thing about robots, as with wearables, is that they are the future of Dyson,” Jake Dyson reiterates at the end of the video.
