Shocking leaked information from Apple's own robotics research team has just revealed the first prototype named ELEGNT, causing great surprise to the global technology world.
According to technology news site MacRumors, ELEGNT is not just a regular technical device but also the embodiment of a groundbreaking design philosophy.
Apple aims to create movements that are not only functional but also expressive, helping users feel the emotion and intent of the device.
In an internal research report, the Apple development team emphasized: "Nonverbal behaviors such as posture, gestures, and eye contact are essential to conveying inner states in human interactions.
For robots to interact more naturally with humans, their movements need to incorporate expressive elements such as attention, emotion, and intent; in addition to the ability to perform tasks effectively."
The ELEGNT prototype is described as having a shape similar to a smart desk lamp, with the ability to rotate, tilt and emit light to flexibly interact with the surrounding environment.
In the demonstration video , the robot can shine light on books, walls, or desks, and respond sensitively to the user's gestures or voice. This is considered a typical example of Apple integrating AI technology into daily life activities in a more subtle and emotional way.
The device is said to run on a custom version of iPadOS, deeply integrated with the Apple Intelligence ecosystem and Siri virtual assistant.
Apple is expected to position the product in the high-end segment, with a starting price of around $1,000 (equivalent to about VND 26 million), targeting consumers looking for a smart home assistant combined with luxury technology products. ELEGNT is expected to officially launch in late 2026.
