Industrial robot arm pretends to do chores in Dyson’s London pop-up shop

December 13th, 2009 | Category: Gadget Corner

As Mariah Carey’s song goes: “all I want for Christmas is a loyal house-cleaning robot.” Okay, not quite, but we did become hopeful when we saw that photo taken inside Dyson’s first London pop-up shop. Sadly, it turns out that the sole purpose of that prototype-testing robot arm is to constantly twist a DC24 vacuum cleaner — presumably to show off just how great a dance partner your rug cleaner can be. whether you’ve just had your wildest dreams shattered (trust us, we’re right there with ya), feel free to pass on a petition to the Dyson engineers staffing that temporary

shop — you’ll get to play with nine of their vacs and the Air Multiplier bladeless fan while you’re there. You have until January 25th. Chop-chop!
