Apple is Developing a Generative AI-Powered Robotic Arm, Which Could Transform Smart Home Experience
Apple is working on a new desktop device that integrates a large screen, camera, and a flexible robotic arm, expected to launch in 2026 or 2027. This device aims to utilize generative AI to address everyday life issues, such as automatically rotating the screen and searching for recipes. The robotic arm has a personality and can interact with users. The project is led by Apple's Vice President of Technology, Kevin Lynch, with the team developing hardware capable of functioning flexibly in crowded environments and considering future developments of mobile and humanoid robots. This initiative is seen as the beginning of Apple's entry into the robotics market.
