Apple may introduce a home robot with AI in 2027

According to The Information, the project, codenamed J595, emerged at Apple in 2019. Initially, the device was primarily intended for video calls, but the company later expanded its capabilities with artificial intelligence features.

The robot will be able to analyze its surroundings using a camera and sensors, turn on lights when a person appears, and recognize nearby objects. The screen will move on the arm based on the location of objects, though the robot itself will remain stationary.

The hardware part of the project was mostly ready about two years ago, but the release has been delayed due to the development of software and additional AI functions. The expected cost of HomeView Ultra is around $1,000, though the final price may increase due to rising component costs.
