Job Description
Overview
Matic is bringing families out of the stone age of remarkably dumb disc home robots. Humanity spends 2.5 trillion hours annually on home chores worth $25 trillion in wasted economic value. We are on a mission to recapture this time and value with fully autonomous useful elegant and affordable WallEesque home robots that families love and cannot fathom their lives without.
Our approach
In 2017 we observed 200 selfdriving car startups and an equal number of industrial robotics startups but the home autonomy and robotics space had been dramatically overlooked. While AI is becoming more ubiquitous families are still stuck spending dozens of hours per week on repetitive household chores.
At Matic were leveraging advanced technology to address this problem. Weve started by reimagining our first product in fully autonomous floorcleaning robots. Just like consumers adopted Cell Phones then PDAs then iPods and Blackberries before adopting the iPhone to replace all we believe that consumers will adopt singlepurpose elegant and affordable robots that belong and become part of their homes first before we get onerobottorule all chores.
Our goal is to continue automating other forms of household labor shipping useful affordable and privacyfirst robots to our users that solve real problems while building iteratively toward more complex tasks and capabilities over time.
Privacy first
Our robots are also private by design with all the computes on the edge device. We believe that families shouldnt have to jeopardize their privacy just to get some help with the constant drudgery of home chores.
Who we are
We are a consumer robotics product company solving real customer problems. We start with a problem think of an elegant solution in the form of robots and conduct necessary research to build products that just work. We believe families want solutions to their problems and AI & robots enable us to solve them.
Who we are NOT
We are NOT a Robotics Foundation Model research lab a humanoid builder or a robotics software platform company. We build fully autonomous useful elegant and affordable WallEesque robotic products that kids pets and families love!
