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

[canadianreader]

Robocop soon after

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

Or maybe to track/identify the leakers.

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

Boston dynamics been there, done that.

 

[Mike_Trivisonno]

I have a dog already.

I'd rather Apple stay in its expertise and stop wasting another 10 years on this.

Apple's only real expertises right now are with chips and rent-seeking.

The rent-seeking should have been stopped years ago, but at least governments around the world are finally moving on this. Phil and Tim need to be given the boot for all the crap they did over the past decade.

Apple Silicon is awesome, but it doesn't at all justify Apple's current valuation (which may collapse the moment Apple is forced to actually compete to maintain market share.) Apple absolutely needs their "next big thing"... it's long past time to move on from the iPhone.

Will it have a Dalek moment when it sees stairs?

What does the caption say below the picture on the article?

The image was changed by MacRumors. Earlier it was some generation AI generated robot like from the movie I, Robot.

"Hey Siri, mop the floor."

"Here's what I found on the Internet for 'Mop the floor'."

 

[emmab2006]

No......please no...

 

[Rogifan]

But I thought Vision Pro was the next big thing?

Terminator is slowly becoming the greatest non-fiction movie!

How about spend more time in ironing out bugs and solving security holes in current existing devices instead of inventing the wheel? By doing so it will slow down (or stop) giving influencers trying to gain noise by making weird predictions.

Cat hair and cat hair-balls will still win. Dog poop as well. Let me know when they devise something that can self-clean its axles of hair.

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.

so a little wheeled penis…

 

[newyorksole]

lmao love how the article image changed from iRobot to… Wall-E

 

[JTK Awesome]

Hey, I just watched one of those on YouTube!

 

[blacktape242]

not interested.

Marques Brownlee just released a short video tour of his studio and oops, you can see standing walking robots in a back room, as he is closing the door.

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

Hey Siri, get me a cup of coffee.
OK, making Sloppy Joes.

Hey Siri, clean up that spill.
You need to unlock your iPhone first.

Hey Siri, get the groceries.
Here are some Web results.

Hey Siri, you’re fired!
Something went wrong, please try again.

 

[jvchappy]

I'm into this. I'm ready for my Apple StalkR. I'll pay $25,000 for it.

 

[mcnallym]

Would be better just to have a wall mounted panel in each room rather then have something follow you about.

Apple's robot waiting for 30% of your salary

 

[dwhittington]

My dog follows me around my house already. How about an AI wearable for her?

Meanwhile we don't get to position our home screen icons freely.
