Apple to Challenge Amazon and Google? Details of the Upcoming Home Robot Revolution
Rumors are confirmed: the Cupertino company is actively developing a line of smart home robots with AI! The main sensation is a desktop robot companion.
What is known:
▪ Robot companion: Essentially an iPad on a robotic arm, inspired by Pixar's lamp. It will track your movement around the room, turn towards you, and even participate in conversations. Prototypes are already being tested!
▪ Other gadgets: Also in development are a smart speaker with a screen, a separate AI tablet for smart home, and a security camera with facial recognition.
▪ "Charismatic" OS: All of this will run on a new operating system codenamed Charismatic, designed for interacting with multiple users simultaneously.
⏳ When to expect? Roughly 2026-2027. But given Apple's lag in the AI race and the modest sales of Vision Pro, the company needs to hurry.
