Apple Secretly Working On Home Robots As Next Big Project

Apr 6 2024 Share

After the release of the much awaited Apple Vision Pro and the discontinuation of its plans to develop a self driving car akin to a Tesla, Apple have reportedly shifted their focus on robotics, more specifically a home robot.

The company is looking to move in a new direction and explore new ideas after a rough couple of few years which saw them be hit by an antitrust lawsuit from the Department of Justice. Apple has also experienced a sharp decline in iPhone sales in China and a $1.8 billion fine from the EU for breaking rules over music streaming.

This idea is still in a largely theoretical stage of development and it’s not clear whether any domestic devices produced by Apple will make it as far consumer markets. Reports suggest that SafetyOS, the operating system designed for prospective self-driving cars, could potentially be adapted for use in robotics applications.

One source reportedly told Bloomberg that one potential project involves a “mobile robot” designed to accompany users throughout their homes.Additionally, there are rumors circulating about an innovative tabletop device capable of utilizing robotics to manipulate a display.

Is This One of Malta’s Nicest Doors ?

Apr 6 2024 Share

Local photography Facebook page MaltaDoors is a curated online gallery documenting the colour and quirk of Malta’s doorways and entrances.

They show the Maltese public the beautiful and unique doors found in Maltese homes, however the real question is which Maltese door is the nicest.

A door they only posted yesterday is a very strong contender due it’s simplicity and striking colour which according to the page sits between a lilac and a dusty pastel mauve. The door is found on a home in Mellieha and is a project by Maltese architecture frim Architecture 360.

Another strong contender is a door found in Santa Venera and described by the page as a “a little gem”. The door also had a unique stained glass door panel featuring a “proud” peacock.
