Matic's work began in 2017 with a simple goal: make everyday life easier by building a robot that could clean a home. Its early prototypes went through years of development, including on-device depth perception in 2020 and demonstrations beyond the team in 2021. Production began in 2024 with the first 400 robots shipped.
The product reflects a step-by-step approach to home robotics. Reliable perception and movement come first, solving an immediate cleaning problem while building toward more complex tasks. Matic's team describes the goal as a robot that asks for less attention and earns its place by working in real, unpredictable homes.
