Apple’s intention to immerse itself in the world of robotics has played in rumors of all kinds, especially after the death of the apple car. An office device with screen between 2026 and 2027Mobile robots and possible humanoid robots in the future to be determined.
Here, doubt was to know how Apple was going to show robotics, and although rumors have always highlighted a presentation in a year or two, the good news is that the wait is over. The first Apple robot is a reality And its design is the most surprising.
The Apple robotics era begins
If we take a look at the market, we can find certain national robots options. The problem they all share today at their priceWhich is prohibitive for most pockets. The idea of all is to help us do the tasks of the simplest house, and that is precisely what Apple hears with its first steps in the world of robotics.
The device that has already presented the Cupertino company in question has a lamp -shaped design This leaves no one indifferent. Use a technology that Apple baptized as electic (the acronym for Expressive and functional movement design for non -anthropomorphic robotsor in Spanish, “expressive and functional movement design for non -anthropomorphic robots”). It is much more than a simple device: it is an object that seems “full of life”. Their movements are designed to transmit emotions and respond to human interactions. Or what is the same thing, so that we love it.
An expressive robot that can lay the foundations for Apple robots
That a robot reacts to the feelings or actions of a human being is not something new, but Apple wanted to give him a twit. Instead of creating a robot with a human form, to which there is still a certain fear, the company has chosen to build A minimalist robot and with a charming designWhoever remembers Luxo Jr., the Pixar logo (remember that Steve Jobs was founder of this company).
Thanks to a video published by Apple's search team, we can see a bit of what this robot is capable. The idea corresponds to perfection with the first phase that we commented above, that is to say a simple but useful robot for the user. In the video in question, you can see how it helps and sheds light where it is necessary (logical, it's a lamp), but it goes further, even Recommend to the user to drink water Give a few touches to a cup.
Apple is already working in a humanoid robot capable of reacting to emotions
The only “but” that we can put in the announcement of this robot is that, unfortunately, He will not reach stores. The device is a prototype to display the company's capacities, although it undoubtedly throws the foundations that will be the first national robotics of the company to reach stores. Now everything would not be bad news, because the company does not only work on this robot.
We were able to see through another video published by your research team how Apple develops a system for humanoid robots, also to be able to react naturally and organic Before stimuli or human feelings. We will always have to expect a little more to see what the Apple robots offer, but these are certainly very interesting steps.
