Dyson has opened four robotics technology offices in London, Hullavington, and Singapore, with plans to hire 700 more engineers to work on robots that will assist humans with household tasks. “Robotics has a bright future,” says designer Jake Dyson. “Saving people time, performing chores for people, and improving people’s daily lives. I’m a parent, I spend half my life cleaning after my kids and it’s pretty tedious.”

Dyson shows off its “secret robot prototypes,” which are seen picking up teddy bears, arranging dishes, and vacuuming sofas, in addition to its traditional floor-cleaning robots. Proprietary vision systems demonstrate human-mapping and thermal imaging capabilities in the company’s “Perception Lab.”

“One thing about robots, as with wearables, is that they are the future of Dyson,” Jake Dyson reiterates at the end of the video.
