MATIC ROBOT VACUUM ADDS VOICE AND GESTURE CONTROL

The feature rolled out today, August 13, giving Matic owners hands-free control over their robot vacuums. Users can point at a mess to trigger spot cleaning without touching the device or opening an app. Matic Cues integrates a built-in voice assistant, allowing owners to issue commands verbally. The gesture control system recognizes pointing motions to identify cleaning targets. This upgrade positions Matic as a competitor in the growing market of AI-enabled home robots. The addition of natural interaction methods—voice and gesture—reduces friction compared to app-based controls that require smartphone access. Matic has not announced pricing for the feature or whether it will be included with new units or offered as an update to existing models. The feature represents a shift toward more intuitive smart home device interfaces.
