Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Dyson is moving beyond vacuum cleaners and hand driers and will try to develop robots capable of helping with household chores.<\/b><\/p>\n

The company has announced plans to create a major robotics centre at its facility at Hullavington Airfield, in Wiltshire, that will work on new types of domestic robot.<\/p>\n

The site will be home to 250 robotics engineers.<\/p>\n

Dyson already produces robotic vacuum cleaners.<\/p>\n

Computer vision<\/b><\/p>\n

Founded in the UK, the company is now headquartered in Singapore.<\/p>\n

Dyson says it is investing heavily in developing new technology – and half of the 2,000 people to have joined the company this year are engineers, scientists or coders.<\/p>\n

It is also hiring robotics engineers across disciplines including computer vision, machine learning, sensors and “mechatronics”.<\/p>\n

The company revealed glimpses of some of its work, in a video at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation, in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Robot arms are briefly seen picking up plates, a bottle of detergent and a soft toy – but what kind of commercial devices this work might lead to is not revealed.<\/p>\n

Dyson has been attempting to broaden the range of products it offers.<\/p>\n

It recently took a first step into wearable technology – but its over-ear headphones with an air-purifying mouth visor received mixed reviews online, with “odd-looking” and “dystopian” among the terms used to describe them.<\/p>\n

And some attempts to move into other areas have proved commercially unviable, most notably in 2019 when the company abandoned an electric-car project.<\/p>\n
