Matic Robots reposted this
Ever seen a 🤖 robot drive off it's own packaging? Home robots have stagnated since the Roomba came out 12 years ago. That's over now and Matic Robots is a huge step forward. The Matic comes pre-configured from the factory. You take off the top of it's box, press a button and it greets you by name and drives off to explore your house. It's fast and nimble and has a much deeper understanding of what it sees. It understands toys, cables and humans and will go around them. And it generates very good 3D maps where you can point to any area you want to have cleaned. The 3D maps look like they are NeRFS and it's amazing to see a color 3D model of your house (well, up to about 1 foot in height). One big difference is the that the robot is very quiet so it's now feasible to run it automatically at night. The robot keeps data local and it's made by a US company. With most (all?) home cleaning robots other than iRobot manufacturing in China that is a plus for a device with microphones and cameras that can go anywhere in my house. This is a super early pre-release, and it is already the IMHO by far best product of this type on the market. Congrats to the Matic Robots Team! Video featuring Charlotte Appenzeller.
