2022: Device announcement

At the end of May 2022, it became known that the British manufacturer of household equipment Dyson was engaged in the development of robots. At one of the conferences, the company introduced its first product in this area and announced plans to hire hundreds of engineers by 2027 to create robots capable of doing housework. The company demonstrated the small motor skills of the robot: hands are able to lift plates from the dryer, vacuum the sofa or lift children's toys.

Dyson states that the company's goal is to develop an autonomous device that can perform homework and other tasks, and according to information The Guardian, such a device can be released by 2030. Since 2014, the company has emphasized its interest in artificial intelligence and robotics, which will form the basis of its future products. This happened after the company released its first, robotic device robot vacuum cleaner Dyson 360 Eye.

As of May 2022, Dyson is recruiting 250 robotic engineers with experience in the field of computer vision, machine learning, sensors and mechatronics. and hopes to hire 700 more within the next five years. The company claims that in 2022 Dyson has already replenished 2 thousand employees.

{{quote 'This is a big bet on future robotic technologies that will stimulate research throughout the company, in areas such as mechanical engineering, vision systems, machine learning and energy storage. This is a symbiosis of machines and computer applications used for the development, production and use of robots. Using robotic technologies allows consumers to automate processes, achieve productivity growth, improve quality and reduce the impact of such a factor as human errors, "said Dyson chief engineer Jake Dyson. }}

In addition to hiring employees, the company is also building the UK's largest robotics research center. The center will be located at Hallavington Airfield next to the existing Dyson Design Center in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, where the company will refurbish an aviation hangar with 250 robotics. Previously, this site was intended for the development of the Dyson electric car, but in 2019 the project was canceled. The research will also be conducted in a laboratory in London, as well as at the company's global headquarters in Singapore.^[1]
