Coming in 2027: Apple’s $1,000 home robot for FaceTime and switching on lights
摘要
苹果据报正推进家用机器人项目，首款产品代号J595，或命名HomeView Ultra，可自主移动并支持FaceTime通话、在人进入房间时开灯。该项目早期原型于2018年出现，获时任CEO库克批准继续。公司目标2027年推出，售价可能达1000美元或以上，但开发延迟或推迟至2028年。工程师正尝试赋予其更多能力，以支撑较高定价。
Apple’s new CEO, John Ternus, is apparently pushing the tech company’s development of household robots—and the first to debut may be a home robot designed to autonomously roam around while supporting FaceTime calls and switching lights on whenever a person enters the room.
People who worked on Apple’s robotic projects told The Information that the AI-driven home robot, code-named J595, could be named HomeView Ultra in line with Apple’s new HomeView stationary smart display. The company is reportedly aiming to launch the robotic product with a possible price tag of $1,000 or more by 2027, although development delays may push that back to 2028.
The earliest prototypes of the home robot first came out in 2018 and received approval from former Apple CEO Tim Cook to continue the project. The Information describes Apple’s engineers as trying to give the robot more capabilities beyond being a “fancy way to make FaceTime calls” in order to justify a high price tag, even as the team has spent years refining the software and incorporating more AI technologies.
