“This is a ‘big bet’ on future robotic technology that will drive research at Dyson in areas such as mechanical engineering, vision systems, machine learning and energy storage. We need the best people in the world. join us now. ‘
Famous for its vacuum cleaners, Dyson has indicated it is going beyond robotic floor vacuums. In a social media film, the company revealed the latest Dyson-designed robotic hands models that can pick up items, meaning they can pick up children’s toys off the floor, stack plates, and even set the table.
To help achieve its goals, Dyson is looking to hire 700 robotics engineers over the next five years, to work in London, Hullavington Airfield and Singapore. At least 2,000 people joined the tech company this year alone, 50% of whom are engineers, scientists and programmers.
