For $1,000, Apple is anticipated to release a tablet with a robotic arm, an iPad-like screen, and AI integration.
Expert Mark Gurman of Bloomberg claims that Apple is working on a project to create a desktop robot. It has a robotic arm holding an iPad-like screen that can be adjusted in many directions for screen orientation. In addition to supporting FaceTime and video conferencing, the robot will serve as a smart home control center and be used to keep an eye on family security.
This butler robot is compatible with both Siri and Apple Intelligence, which enables it to understand and respond to spoken orders, distinguish between various voices, and automatically align the screen with the user.
Although Apple’s board of directors authorized the project (code J595) in 2022, development on it has just recently received priority. At the moment, there are several hundred members of the robot development team, led by Apple Vice President of Technology Kevin Lynch, who has experience leading projects like Apple Watch and Apple Ca.
The concept received backing from Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple and head of software engineering, despite reservations about whether or not people would purchase a robotic gadget of that kind and the high cost of developing the software to operate it. arduous John Teenus, provide a hand.
Apple reportedly intended to release the product in 2026 or 2027 and is attempting to bring the price down to about $1,000.
