Trifo Adds a Little Brother, Max, to Its A.I.-Powered Line of Robot Vacuums Digital Trends

#artificialintelligence

One of Silicon Valley's million robot companies brought another cool toy to the IFA conference in Berlin this month, and it sees, hears, and speaks as it cleans. The company is Trifo: They've been around for a few years, and they're tapping into a seriously lucrative market. According to the company, Statista estimates that shipments of home robots will grow to nearly 30 billion units by 2025 and The International Federation of Robotics says the personal household service robots market will reach over $10 billion by 2020. The new gizmo, announced at the IFA event in Berlin last week, is Max, a delightfully simple brand for a pretty curious, aware, and able robot. Trifo also launched Ironpie at CES in Las Vegas early this year, a smart robot vacuum that reportedly "cleans faster, protects furniture better, is controllable from anywhere, and with a host of features that improve on the original home vacuum concept."
