If I had a robot, I would want it to stay securely bolted to the shop floor. I certainly wouldn't buy one from any big tech company.
I want one that can do annoying manual labor tasks. 'Remove all the paint from the concrete porch' would be a nice command.
Though, with how well AIs are going lately, I could see it deciding to destroy the front door instead if I were to entrust it with a power tool.
One can design a visual language in which such a robot would present to the user what exactly it's going to do.
Then a user can say a command, and the resulting action would be displayed, waiting for confirmation by, say, pressing a button.
"Door into Summer" comes to mind.
That means no. Until they start selling useful robots with a few simple MCs inside and sufficient documentation. No "AI", no telemetry, no nice GUI, nothing like that.
They really lost the plot at this point.
I always thought Apple should make appliances. I say let them try.
Apple making robots, what could go wrong? (Looks up phone number for Tom Selleck)
All of those robots are easily defeated by a flight of stairs.
The drone ones can probably handle it
Yeah, don't mind the flying drones using LLM snapshots to navigate and identify obstacles, like random people.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
