Matic Robots launched Cues, a feature enabling voice and gesture control for its home cleaning robot. Users can point at a spill and say "Hey Matic, clean this," and the robot locates the spot in 3D and cleans it. The system supports 75 languages. Matic claims 8x the airflow of competitors, 9 years of development, and 13,000 active families. It received a 10/10 score from WIRED, the first hardware to achieve that in a decade.
