Overview
Matician (Matic Robots) is a San Francisco-based consumer robotics company developing the Matic robot vacuum, an AI-powered home cleaning robot that maps spaces without sending data to the cloud. Founded by former Google Nest engineers Navneet Dalal and Mehul Nariyawala, the company spent 9 years developing vision-only robotics. In August 2026, Matic launched Cues — voice and gesture control enabling users to point at messes and say 'Hey Matic, clean this.' The robot supports 75 languages and is used by 13,000 families. WIRED gave it a 10/10 — the only hardware to receive that rating in a decade.
