It seems that robots will be added to the technologies that continue to develop faster and faster every day. Apple may also be working on a new robot. Recent reports have revealed that Apple and its largest manufacturing partner have agreed for a smart home robot.

Did Apple and Foxconn agree on a home robot?

New reports have revealed that Apple is preparing to step into robotics. Accordingly, the tech giant has reached an agreement with Foxconn, its longtime partner in iPhone and iPad production. According to reports from Asia, Apple is negotiating with Foxconn for its $ 1000 robot.

The Apple robot, which was revealed last week, is described as a “smart home command center and video conferencing device” that can tilt, rotate 360 degrees and has actuators for movement. We know that Foxconn produces its own robots, called FoxBots, in the Asian market. This experience seems ideal for Apple’s robotics initiative.

Under the leadership of Vice President Kevin Lynch, Apple has assembled a team of several hundred people to work on its secret project. The team went to the Foxconn factory to examine FoxBot production and also examined the company’s mass production of parts.

According to previous claims, Apple’s robotic arm can move up and down, rotate 360 degrees, and perform multiple tasks. The robot, which will be introduced as a desktop device, is expected to make it easier for people to control smart homes, participate in video conferences, monitor home security, and many other tasks.

The agreement between Apple and Foxconn is crucial for the transition from standard iPhone production to new operations centered on robotics and artificial intelligence. Apple is expected to introduce the robotic device between 2026 and 2027.
