Matic announced 'Cues', a new voice and gesture control feature for its robot vacuum. Users can point at a mess and say 'clean this', and the robot will use hearing, vision, and 3D localization to clean it autonomously. Backed by $115M in funding and 9 years of development, the robot supports 75 languages, voice tracking, and room-specific navigation.
