If you look at your Roomba with disgust, think about what kind of far -reaching is the Jetsons' Rosey the Robot robot, help on the way. Bloomberg reported On Friday, this meter plans to use its achievements in the field of artificial intelligence and augmented reality to build a platform for futuristic humanoid robots that can help with household chores, such as linen folding.
META, as reported, creates a new team in its Hardware of the hardware of the reality -laboratorywhich processes Quest VR Hearsets And long -term Orion Ar Glasses projectAlthough it will create a robot equipment during development, the long -term target of META is more like Android, where Google makes a software platform, which is used by almost the entire industry (outside Apple). Met will make basic sensors, AI and software for other companies to place in their equipment. In other words, he wants to be an android.
At least initially meta -planes to create households in the focus of the project. Bloomberg Lists folding underwear, wearing glasses of water, putting dishes in a dishwasher and other household chores as examples to cause excitement around what can be a disturbing category of products for many people. (For example, why these problems can be justified, do not look further than the Unitere G1 robot, which Ran Full-Speed and Engadget's Karissa Bell and CesFor a moment, pressing it to the visual crowd.)
Speaking about Unitree, Meta reportedly conducted early discussions with the Chinese robotics company, which also makes the quatrain “dog -robot”, which can run, climb the stairs and sit on her hind legs, like a good girl. They also say that Meta has discussed its plans with the California manufacturer of the humanoids Cigure Ai, which can count Openai, Nvidia, Microsoft, Intel and Jeff Bezos among its investors.
Today's humanoid robots are not advanced enough to understand the house like Rosie, but Meta believes that all the resources that he is Plunging in AI And XR Pay the road to this destination. Although the company believes that it will take place for several years before useful humanoid robots are widely available, the META employee Andrew Bosworth, is reported, considers the company's progress in monitoring of hands, low -grade calculations and always on sensors.
“The main technologies in which we have already invested and built in reality laboratories and artificial intelligence complement the development of the achievements necessary for robotics,” the Bosworth reports in the note. “We believe that the expansion of our portfolio for investment in this area will only have a value for Meta AI and our mixed and supplemented reality programs.”
META is not alone in raising eyebrows in the future of home robots for (probably rich) consumers. Last year, the news crashed Apple worked on roboticsThe field is the same for GoogleBoth companies have a field Published research Documents On their robotics. Flying machines You may have to wait, but Rosie looks much smaller, like a dream of a pipe.
