When mentioning robots, many people will immediately think of human-shaped machines capable of performing household chores - a type of management robot.
Previous information shows that Apple is developing such a device. Last year, Bloomberg described it as a Skunk-works project a term referring to projects that are implemented independently by a small group, separate from the companys main product line.
Meta has also shown great interest in artificial intelligence (AI)-powered rhinoplasty, considering it a strategic focus.
Accordingly, Meta has identified its next major investment as AI-powered robots. The company is pouring resources into future machines that can operate like humans and support manual labor.
Although smart home robots are still a long-term plan, when many companies join in the pursuit, the development progress may be accelerated.
Meta's involvement in this area could see Apple move the project from a pilot plan to a real product development one.
The presence of human-shaped robots in the home may make many people afraid. Being equipped with multiple cameras creates a sense of violating privacy.
Apple's big advantage could lie in its commitment to protecting privacy and reputation for data security. If Apple ensures that its robots do not collect data in a worrying way, it can easily gain the trust of consumers compared to Meta or other competitors.
