Apple's little-known robotics team is shifting from AI chief John Giannandrea's oversight to John Ternus, the senior VP of Hardware Engineering.
The move follows the recent decision to remove Siri from Giannandrea's responsibilities due to concerns about product development execution.
Ternus will now oversee both robotics teams at Apple, aiming to streamline the company's approach to this emerging product category.
Apple's future plans may include consumer robots, such as a tabletop device with an iPad-like display and a robotic arm, as well as mobile robots capable of performing simple tasks.
