This is the answer to all those nasty chores
Dyson is hiring hundreds of engineers to build robots that can do your most hated household chores.
The company has already added 2,000 new employees to its workforce this year.
There have been images of the prototypes showing arms capable of lifting plates out of a drying rack, vacuuming a sofa, or lifting up a child’s toy.
The vacuum giant says that these devices could even be released by 2030.
Dyson has always been interested in AI and robotics for future products.
The company says in order to create the robots, it’s launching its “largest engineering recruitment drive in its history.”
Dyson is recruiting 250 robotics engineers with expertise in “computer vision, machine learning, sensors and mechatronics,” and hopes to hire even more later.
The company is also building out what it hopes will be the UK’s largest robotics research centre at Hullavington Airfield .
The research will also take place in a lab in London, as well as at the company’s global headquarters in Singapore and plans to spend £600 million ($756 million) this year.
