Matic Robot Launches Voice & Gesture Control: Point and Clean
thisguyknowsai · x · 2026-08-14
Home robot brand Matic introduced Cues, a new voice and gesture control feature. Users can simply point at a spill and say, "Hey Matic, clean this," and the robot will use audio, visual, and 3D mapping to locate and clean it autonomously.
Backed by $115M in funding and 9 years of R&D, the robot can follow users, navigate to specific rooms on command, and understand 75 languages. It is designed for intuitive use across all ages and is priced at $1,245.
