Apple develops home robots after the car project has stumbled

Apple has work teams studying the behavior of transformation to personal robots, a field that has the ability to become one of the ‘next big steps’ to change the business, according to people who are familiar with the situation. Apple engineers explored a mobile robot that could find users across their homes, according to the people who asked to hide their identity because of the secret of the “Skangwerke” project. They said that the iPhone manufacturer also developed an advanced home device that mimics the shape of the table and using robot technologies to move the screens. Although efforts are still in their early stages, and it is not yet clear whether the products are going to the end or not, it comes because Apple is facing increasing pressure to find new sources of income. After the company canceled a project in February to manufacture electric cars, the transformation in mixed reality glasses is also expected to take a few years to become an important source of income. Apple, thanks to the robotics project, can gain a greater foothold in consumer houses and benefit from progress in the field of artificial intelligence, but it has not yet become clear. Although the Android Smart Display is very much ahead of the mobile robot, it has been added in recent years and removed from the detailed plans for the company’s products, according to humans. Do the emerging robotic companies thrive in the era of artificial intelligence? Robotat works are implemented in the Apple Engineering Department and its group of artificial intelligence and machine learning, run by John Jianandria. Matt Costilo and Brian Lynch, two homes focusing on home products, also oversees the development of devices. However, Apple has not committed to achieving any of the company -level projects, and the work is still in the early research phase. The company spokeswoman refused to comment on the matter. Future opportunities in “Apple” before canceling the electric cars project, Apple “told its senior drivers that the company’s future was centered around three areas, namely cars, home and mixed reality. But the car project is no longer present, and the company has already released its first mixed reality, which is moving to other future opportunities. The robotic project that mimics the form of the table has provoked the enthusiasm of senior managers in Apple for the first time a few years ago, including the head of the company’s engineering, John Turnos and members of the Industrial Designs team. On one person between crowds of people during a video call. There were also technical challenges associated with the balance of the automatic engine weight on a small basis. At the same time, a basic obstacle appears, which is a disagreement between Apple drivers about whether it should be moved in the product industry, according to people. Apple, near its headquarters in Cuperno, California, has a secret facility that looks like the parts of the internal homes, a site where it can test the devices and future initiatives of the home. Apple is investigating other ideas for this market, including launching a new home device with an iPad. The progress in more areas has been ‘Apple’ obsessed with the achievement of ‘big steps’ since the era of Steve Jobs. However, it became difficult to represent a producer who could compare the iPhone phones, which represented 52% of the company’s $ 383.3 billion sales over the past year. The car project could have contributed to strengthening Apple’s income of hundreds of billions of dollars, partly due to the fact that one car was expected to be sold by about $ 100 thousand dollars. There are other few products that enjoy this growth possibility, but Apple has a number of projects that are implemented, including the updated “Vision Pro” glasses, the “Mac” devices, the ‘airbods’ headphones equipped with integrated cameras, and new health technologies such as the Blood Sugar Monitor. ‘Apple’ makes great progress in its hour to measure blood sugar without tingling at the same time. Artificial intelligence is the focus of another major focus, even if “Apple” tries to catch up with the world of chat robots and other obstetric technologies, as these areas are somewhat interwoven with robots. Although research is still in the beginning phases, researchers in the field of artificial intelligence “Apple” are investigating the use of algorithms so that robots can move in overcrowded areas in homes. Apple is not the first to develop a home robot as Apple continues with its robotic work because it will not be the first huge technology company that develops a home robot. Where the company “Amazon.com” offered a model called “Astro” in 2021 at a cost of $ 1,600. But it was slow to provide the device in large quantities, and this product has so far been a dedicated model. The company also launched a more focused robot version on last year’s business and is designed to work as a security guard. Amazon could possibly draw a map of your home via the Roba Broom and still “Roomba” the most popular home robot, and it appeared for the first time more than two decades ago. Amazon agreed to obtain “Roba” robot producer Irobot in 2022, but the opposition of the regulators eventually led to the failure of the agreement. Other businesses also offered the idea of ​​human robots that mimic the size and movements of individuals. Luminous points for the failed “Apple” efforts There are a bright side in the failed “Apple” efforts in the automotive industry, which will provide the necessary foundations for other initiatives as the company has developed a nervous engine, which is a business of the company’s artificial intelligence chip and in the iPhone and “Mac”. The project also laid the foundation for the ‘Vision Pro’ glasses because ‘Apple’ was reached from the use of virtual reality during management. The robotic manufacturing process started with a similar start, as it grew up in the framework of the “Titan” Car Project (Titan) in 2019. The responsibility was at the time of Doug Field, which is now a major executive director of the Ford Motor Electric Division. How “Apple” rejected one billion dollars annually on a car you didn’t make at the time, Field used a group of drivers to work on robot initiatives, started with drones that are almost no noise for home robots. The group included Linch, Nick Sims, the former director of home products at “Google”, and Dave Scott, who left “Apple” in 2021, to drive a mobile manufacturer for a short time and then returned to the “Vision Pro” project in 2022. “Anki” (anki). The development of robots for household chores to field that departed for Apple in 2021 turned robots into a group of home appliances. Recently, a former team of the car project, which was closed to work on home appliances and robots. According to people who are familiar with these efforts, the car’s operating system, which some call ‘safety’, can also be assigned in theory of robots. The original concept of the robot was a device that could completely navigate without human intervention, such as the car, and it could be a tool to make video calls. Apple strives to handle home tasks, such as cleaning the dishes in the pelvis. But it will overcome very difficult geometric challenges, which are unlikely during this contract. ‘Apple’ abandons the dream of the electric car and also focuses on artificial intelligence. ‘Apple’ has announced a vacant job in the field of robots via its website, suggesting that he is trying to strengthen the teams working in this project. The description of one of the available jobs on the “Apple” website says: “Our team works at the meeting point of modern machine learning with robots to form artificial intelligence that will take the next generation Apple products … We are looking for researchers and innovative and zealous engineering in the field of automatic learning and robots to help us and identify and develop.
