The robotics team is currently focused on several projects, including an iPad-like desktop device equipped with a robotic arm that allows the display to move. The team is led by Kevin Lynch, who was involved in the development of Apple Watch and also on the failed electric car project. In addition to the robotic iPad, the team is also focusing on more advanced projects, such as "a mobile robot that will be able to follow users around their homes."
In addition to this team led by Giannandrea, there is Applu and a separate group focused on “robotics and smart home technologies.” This team, led by Brian Lynch and Matt Costello, was previously under Ternus’ leadership. Giannandrea’s transfer to Ternus brings both teams under a single management.
The change also means that Ternus now gains control over key AI teams, which is notable as these teams typically fall under a different segment than hardware. Ternus briefly led the software unit Vision Probefore this team was moved under Rockwell to software engineering, which was also related to the change in leadership Siri in the past month.
If a sick Apple Tree is to bloom and bear fruit again (..if it is still possible at all..) they must be cut off, primarily when they are completely dry or dried out to the point of being dry, Craig and Tim!
