The household appliance maker has already hired 2,000 people this year, of which 50 percent are engineers, scientists, and coders.
Of the new recruits 250 are robotics engineers across disciplines including computer vision, machine learning, sensors and mechatronics, and expects to hire 700 more in the robotics field over the next five years.
Dyson announced the massive recruitment drive at the recent International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA).
At the conference Dyson, best known for its vacuum cleaners, revealed that it is accelerating development of an autonomous device capable of household chores and other tasks.
It also released a video to coincide with the announcement on social media showing the latest developments of Dyson-designed robotic hands grasping objects, indicating that the tech company is moving beyond robotic floor-based vacuums.
The secret R&D work is being led by Dyson’s Chief Engineer Jake Dyson at Hullavington Airfield in Wiltshire, UK, where to create the UK's largest, most advanced, robotics center.
Over the past six months, Dyson has been secretly refitting one of the main aircraft hangars at Hullavington Airfield to prepare for 250 roboticists to move into their new home.
The company said its latest robotics makeover is the next stage in Dyson’s £2.75bn investment plan in new technologies, products and facilities; £600m of which is to be spent this year.
