What is the Intuitive Robot trend?
Intuitive Robot: Smart‑home robotics companies are launching gesture‑controlled assistants, including vacuums that clean wherever a user points, robots that follow directional hand cues and devices that interpret simple motions to trigger tasks. These products position gesture control as more intuitive alternatives.
Insight
