Apple said to have ‘several hundred’ working on a robot arm with attached iPad

Apple is reportedly interested in the home robotics market. The company has assembled a team of several hundred to develop its first product: a robotic arm equipped with an iPad-like display.

The product has reportedly been in the works for around two years, though the team has ramped up efforts far more recently.

Apple isn’t exactly taking the easy road. As difficult as producing an electric self-driving car would’ve been, the world of home robots is littered with failed projects, with the sole exception of iRobot’s Roomba and subsequent robot vacuums.


MacDailyNews Take: The bloat is eye-watering. Steve Jobs (or Elon Musk, for that matter) could have done it with a team of “several,” if that many.
