I'm sure in about 20 years this could be a viable product. But in all seriousness with all of the issues we've seen lately with AI it seems like a viable robot is far off.
It will be called Siri and this time if you're not nice to Siri she'll strangle you because she's a much stronger robot.
ok im convinced these stupider rumors/leaks are just being thrown around to give the illusion that Apple is doing """innovative things""" to keep their shareholders happy
I’ve always wondered about the practical implications of this if you have, say, a multi story home.
I did see a prototype security camera on a drone which flies around the house, that has a dock it returns to when it needs to recharge.
Perhaps flying robot assistants will be the solution to the issue.

Why TF would anyone want a robot that follows them around? 😂
Unless it’s like that “Ron’s Gone Wrong” movie.

Oh I'm sorry for destroying the planet, I'll stop using AI and it'll all be better.
Please, the whole "carbon footprint" narrative has always been a way for large corporations to shift responsibility from themselves to the consumer.
You’ll have to buy one HomeBot for each room, just as with the HomePods.
I don’t want apple to be that type of gadget company. It turns schlocky and whiffs of bottom barrel ideas. Like the days when they were making printers. Im glad they abandoned Project Titan for the same reasons. It dilutes the core strengths of the company.
I think it's more likely that Apple is trying to get its copycat competitors to waste money on this

"My name is Talky Siri.... and I don't think I like you very much." <--- Please tell me you KNOW what show/episode this is from. It'so obvious! 😁
I’ve been a tech enthusiast for over two decades. I’m kind of getting sick of technology. Too many devices, too much tracking. It’s not improving my quality of life. Am I the only one starting to feel this way?
Why would we need a table-top home device that uses robotics to move a display around when we'll all supposedly be ditching displays in favor of wearing the Vision Pro?
I think there is just as much chance of this driving the apple car...
No, you are definitely not the only one.
