Apple's intelligent robot would be capable of performing household tasks such as tidying up, washing dishes, or controlling the home. Apple is reportedly working on a revolutionary new project: manufacturing an intelligent robot with artificial intelligence that is capable of figuring out how to move and act around the home.
Humanoid robots have been gradually appearing for some time now, and progress has been so significant that they are closer than ever to becoming a reality and forming part of our daily lives. Major brands and technology companies have already launched their own robots, such as Boston Dynamics with its Atlas robot and Tesla.
Similarly, companies such as Mercedes, Amazon, and BMW are already testing or planning to test robots for industrial use. However, these robots have only been demonstrated in completely controlled environments, making the possibility of purchasing one for household tasks still a long way off.
With Apple's entry, all of this is expected to change, as Apple's robotics projects are in the hands of former Google employee John Giannandrea, who has been in charge of Siri and the Apple Car for some time.
Apple and its robot are expected in less than a decade
Mark Gurman, the Bloomberg journalist who reports exclusive Apple news, has shared that Apple's robotics projects are in the hands of former Google employee John Giannandrea, who was in charge of Siri and the Apple Car for some time.
According to Gurman's information, Apple's humanoid robot is getting closer and closer, less than a decade away.
Apple has not shared much information about what could be its new humanoid robot launch, but the few details that have come to light reveal that Apple's ideas about robots are in line with current trends in robotics.
Apple is synonymous with technological innovation. Now it has decided to explore new frontiers in artificial intelligence and robotics. After shelving its smart car project, it is now redirecting its efforts toward the development of smart home robots.
Apple is one of many companies working on creating robots for everyday use.Bloombergmentions in an article that among its developments, a mobile robot designed for direct interaction with the user stands out, facilitating assistance with tasks and connecting with other smart devices in the home.

Apple and its various projects
A desktop device is also reportedly in development that uses robotics to adjust a screen and thus improve the experience of video calls, entertainment, and other activities.
These projects are being led by Apple's hardware engineering division, with support from the company's artificial intelligence and deep learning group.
However, Apple does not have a clear path in the competition to create home robots. Companies such as Amazon and Samsung have already made advances in the field of home robotics.
On Jeff Bezos' side is Astro, the home assistant robot that you can ask to deliver items to other members of the household, accompany you on video calls, and monitor your home in general.
At Apple, the development of assistant robots by the company headed by Tim Cook is not without certain development problems. According to information fromBloomberg, the testing ground for these robots is right in Cupertino, Apple's headquarters, where the interior of homes is simulated in order to refine their technology on the way to implementation in real homes.
