Matic has launched a new feature called Matic Cues that adds voice and gesture control to its robot vacuum, according to The Verge. The upgrade gives users a more direct way to interact with the machine without relying solely on an app or preset routines.
With Matic Cues, users can talk directly to the vacuum to tell it what to do. They can also point at a mess to have the robot spot-clean that area, turning cleanup into a more immediate, on-demand interaction.
The Verge frames the update as a notable expansion for a robot vacuum it describes as its current favorite. The feature’s appeal is straightforward: instead of opening software to send the robot to a specific place, users can use natural commands and gestures to get a quick cleanup started.
