Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule lezi zindaba zagqashuka enkampanini yezindaba iReuters, lapho inhloko yenkampani iRobot, ekhiqiza umshini wokuhlanza iRoomba, yayinenhloso yokuthengisa idatha yokulandelela yonke imizi lapho yenza khona imisebenzi yayo. Ukwenza imephu okwenziwa yile divayisi kuyinto edingekayo ukwazi ukuthi ikuphi futhi ingawenza kuphi umsebenzi wayo, kepha inkampani beyifuna ukuthola ukuhlanganisa ngokuthengisa lolu hlobo lolwazi kwabakhulu abanjengo-Apple, Google kanye ne-Amazon, ukuze yakha imikhiqizo engcono ehlakaniphile efanele amakhaya amaningi ngangokunokwenzeka.
I-HomePod yakwa-Apple iyisetshenziswa esizophinde sibe nesibopho lapho singena emakethe kungekudala ngaphambi kokuphela konyaka, sokwenza ibalazwe kulo lonke igumbi lapho sikhona ukuze sikwazi ukukhipha umsindo ukuze uzwakale kahle nganoma yisiphi isikhathi igumbi. Konke lokhu kungenzeka ngenxa ye-chip ye-A8 nochungechunge lwezinzwa ezihlaziya izinto ezisegumbini ngesikhathi sangempela. Kepha yonke le datha ngeke iphume ukuthi i-Apple izoyimaketha, okungenani yilokho okushiwo yi-Apple embuzweni womsebenzisi.

Kumele futhi kubhekwe ukuthi inhloko ye-iRobot, iqinisekise ukuthi imininingwane ekwimephu yezindlu lapho kutholakala khona i-robotic vacuum cleaner yayo ngeke yabelwe abantu besithathu ngaphandle kokuthola imvume yomnikazi.
Ekugcineni okucacayo ukuthi iRobot izokwenza lokho ekufunayo, noma ngabe igunyaziwe ngabanikazi, ngoba umsebenzisi ngeke abe nendlela yokwazi uma imininingwane yethu ithengisiwe noma uma inkampani ikufezile ukuzibophezela kwayo kobumfihlo.
