Apple Exploring 'Mobile Robot' That 'Follows Users Around Their Homes'

[TVreporter]

Is this project’s secret name “Rosey”?

LOL Apple really wished they had purchase Tesla back in 2018.

Siri will become my maid. I will dress her up in beautiful cosplay while she cleans my house and cooks me dinner.

So this is what Phil Schiller is working all those hours for.

“Mobile” strongly hints at:

 

[Seamaster]

That $3500 scuba mask was one hell of a shark jump, wasn't it?

 

[sw1tcher]

Reminds me of the movie iRobot

This is what I think of

 

[Henry S]

That's my cat's job.

Ambitious mockup lol. It'll probably be more similar to a HomePod on wheels.

I actually used DALL-E to try to create a mockup and I think it'll be close to this. A bit similar to Amazon's Astro.

Cute! But I'm afraid it's going to whine and complain if the user goes up or down stairs

 

[Chuckles55]

I'd rather we train apes to do our menial tasks, I mean what could possibly go wrong with that!!!

 

[MrGimper]

AKA “toddlers”

 

[CarAnalogy]

Awesome! As much as I yell and cuss at Siri for disappointing me, now I can actually kick something too!

 

[DocMultimedia]

Car. Robot. Parrot. Dog. Cheetah. Cowbell. See-saw.

Eventually Apple will come up with something new. I'm sure of it.

"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! 😁

Bladerunner?

 

[farmboy]

I mentioned this to my wife. She replied:"Half the population already has that. The other half are wives."

I shudda known better...

 

[mdriftmeyer]

Just dumb.

 

[ItchyRat2160]

Desperate times at Apple. They need a new product so bad they’re just trying anything at this point. My phone already goes literally everywhere with me. A mobile robot is superfluous. And creepy.

 

[HarryWarden]

How long before “Detroit: Become Human” level robots are available? Until then, not very interested.

 

[Unity451]

So, in other words, they are developing a dog.

iDog

Hey Siri, open the door.



sorry, I don’t understand

 

[Jay-Jacob]

First thing I think when see that image (Macrumour changed it now) was I, Robot movie. 🤣 No thanks! Don't want that advance! (Yes I know it won't be).

 

[Kevin2055]

let's call it Model 3 Generative Android

 

[JWD]

The poor will want this but can’t afford it.
The rich won’t want this anywhere near them.
The middle class is going extinct.

You heard it here first

 

[Attirex]

Next: MR posts rumor that trade-in value of RobotPro Max "expected to decrease more rapidly" than trade-in values of "other robots with similar functionality."

 

[nicolas17]

didn't amazon or someone already do this years ago
