What happened? Dyson is moving into robotics with a particularly ambitious program. Washing dishes, putting away toys, and cleaning a sofa are just some of the household tasks that a future autonomous robot from Dyson could one day perform. The British manufacturer, which specializes in premium household appliances including vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, and the Supersonic hairdryer, is moving into robot territory with the aim to make our lives easier at home.
Why is this important? How will this impact people and the planet? As Dyson CEO Max Conze notes, the robot revolution is already underway in manufacturing and logistics. The next step, he believes, is to bring robotics into the home in order to automate domestic chores. While this might sound like a dystopian future straight out of The Jetsons (or Black Mirror), it's important to remember that robots are designed to complement and assist humans, not replace them. So while your robot might be able to handle the dishes from now on, you'll still be needed to provide the loving touch (and conversation) that only a human can provide.
What's next? What are the Implications? Dyson is just one of many companies working on domestic robots, and it's still early days yet. But as the technology continues to develop, we can expect to see more and more of these robot helpers making their way into our homes. In the meantime, we'll just have to keep doing the dishes ourselves. But wouldn't it be nice if we had a robot to help with that?
What do you think about domestic robots? Would you welcome a robot helper into your home? Let us know in the comments below.
