Home robotics is one of the biggest growing segments in consumer technology; robot vacuums are becoming more commonplace, as the technology improves each year. But how much further can it go?
I recently interviewed Ecovacs CEO David Qian about what’s next for the company, and for robotic appliances in general. What excites him the most is how much better home robots can get, even compared to today’s already-capable models.
“There are so many ways you can innovate (robotics) compared to traditional home appliances,” Qian said. “Within a robot, you have sensors that you can add to make it more precise, to make it more accurate in object detection.”
And as much as Qian thinks there’s a future for humanoid robots, like the ones on The Jetsons and Futurama, they’re still a while away. It’s an interesting chat, which you can see in full over on the GadgetGuy YouTube channel.
