Dyson announced that it would focus most on robotic products in the following years. The tech firm was among the first to introduce a futuristic vacuum that helps people easily clean the floors of their households. This innovation, called the Dyson 360 Eye, was a giant leap from conventional vacuum cleaners utilized globally.
Today, the latest models of Dyson-produced vacuums include WiFi connectivity for remote control and specialized cameras for accurate navigation systems across surfaces at home.
Decades after its initial launch, it came to a point in which Dyson's most successful technology was already unavailable in the United States, pushing consumers to wait until stocks for the country sales were refilled.
Dyson Works on New Robots for Household Chores
In a recently published video by Dyson, the company showed a glimpse of its latest plans to dominate the robotic household industry. The presentation was led by Jake Dyson, son of CEO and founder James Dyson.
The clip demonstrated some of their ongoing work targeted solely for home improvements and house chores assistance. Basically, the company sets up to become one of the largest producers of home robotics in the coming years.
Jake Dyson boasted in the documentation that the company has a 'big future in robotics.' Some of the technologies were made possible through the help of scholars from the Imperial College London, and most of these automated devices are aimed to improve the time management and lives of the consumers, Dyson continued.
The video was narrated by Dyson while in front of large hangars in Wiltshire county's Hullavington Airfield, London.
Among the robots included in the latest Dyson update were arms that grab children's toys off the floor and sort plates from the drain. The famous vacuum was also seen in the clip, controlled through robotic arms that are equipped with a visual guide while cleaning a standard living room couch, Daily Mail reports. Other robotic figures shown in the video were blurred.

Dyson and the Future of Home Robotics
The new Dyson robots are exclusive for household utility alone. These machines have functions that were specialized to carry out the most challenging tasks in the most challenging parts of the home. The demonstrations fit environments requiring complex activities that even humans could not perfect.
Unlike any other lines of robotic innovations, the market for home improvement machines is notoriously hard to infiltrate. According to a report by Tech Radar, iRobot is among the few companies that were able to dominate the industry successfully and even made technologies that cater to healthcare systems and hospital facilities.
Despite the video of people about the modern functions of upcoming Dyson robots and wearables, there is still uncertainty if ever these machines will appear in working-level households.
Although there is still no confirmation from the developers about the availability of the products to the public, Jake Dyson explained that these innovations were built with research based on performance and functionality feedback collected from the company's consumers.
The company will employ the roboticists they have worked with in previous years, along with an additional 250 more specialists for this year, and 700 more in the next five years, Jake Dyson added.
