Dyson's newest robot vacuum, the 360 Vis Nav, features a motor from another company, a surprising move for a brand known for its in-house engineering. The motor is sourced from Nidec, a Japanese manufacturer, marking a departure from Dyson's tradition of designing its own digital motors. Speculation suggests this could be due to cost savings or time constraints, but Dyson has not commented. The 360 Vis Nav is set to launch later this year, aiming to compete with top-tier robot vacuums from iRobot and Roborock.
