Dyson has announced that itll invest £5 million into a robotics labs at Imperial College London, aimed at developing vision systems to help robots understand and adapt to the world around them. The company had in fact planned to launch a robotic vacuum cleaner way back in 2001, but Sir Dyson said the prototype was too heavy and expensive… and it never hit stores. This time, research wont only concern itself with automated vacuums but other domestic robots, according to the BBC.
