Dyson is hiring more engineers to develop a robot to assist with household chores.
The business behind the Dyson brand intends to develop home robots that are superior to humans at doing domestic activities. The company employed 1,000 engineers, scientists, and programmers in 2022 and anticipates adding at least 950 robotics professionals over the next five years. One of its robots can be seen in the video above cleaning an armchair, while another handles dishes in the kitchen and picks up a stuffed animal off the floor. A robot with several functions is the holy grail of robotics.
It is unknown if Dyson intends to use its engineers to develop a succession of specialist robots or a general-purpose robot due to its extreme secrecy. Nevertheless, based on its primary focus on machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, we predict that Dyson will develop robots capable of performing a restricted range of activities.
