Dyson unveils robot that could help with chores

Dyson is working on a robot prototype that can help do household chores.

Need help with household chores or just tired of doing them? Then help is on the way. 

Dyson unveiled their plans for a robot prototype that can do common household chores. 

The robotic device has an arm capable of grabbing items. Video shows the robotic arm grabbing a teddy bear, kitchen plates, utensils, and more. 

It's not clear what specific chores it can and can not do. 

"There is a big future in robotics and saving people time, performing chores for people and improving people's daily lives. I'm a parent, I spend half my life cleaning up after my kids and it's pretty tedious," said Dyson’s Chief Engineer Jake Dyson.

Until now, Dyson robots have been floor-based vacuum cleaners… the first one came out 20 years ago. 

Officials say it could be released by 2030.
