The company has launched Matic Cues, which brings voice and gesture control to the robot.

Por que importa

Os números em evidência ($1,245, $1,495.) ajudam a medir o impacto no dia a dia de empresas e leitores de Tech.

Consequência prática

Now, you can talk directly to your vacuum to tell it what you want it to do, or just point at a mess to have it spot-clean.

The feature launches today, August 13 at 2 pm ET, and will show as an option in the Matic app under Settings > Matic Cues.

The update arrives just ahead of a planned price hike on September 9, which will see the WALL-E-style robot's price go from $1,245 to $1,495.

I've been playing with Matic Cues for a day or so, and so far it's working well.
