**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**At the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Philadelphia on 25 May, British technology firm Dyson gave a glimpse of its top secret plans for household robots.During the event, Dyson outlined their ambitions in advanced robotics, and offered a sneak peak at its development of an autonomous device capable of household chores and other tasks. A film, which has also been released on social media, showcases the latest developments of Dyson-designed robotic hands grasping objects, indicating that the tech company is moving beyond robotic floor-based vacuums. The secret R&D work at Hullavington Airfield in Wiltshire is being led by Dyson’s Chief Engineer Jake Dyson. Jake said: “Dyson employed its first roboticist 20 years ago and this year alone we are seeking 250 more experts for our team. This is a ‘big bet’ on future robotic technology that will drive research across the whole of Dyson, in areas including mechanical engineering, vision systems, machine learning and energy storage.
