They transform how we support our owners and assess autonomously how to improve a product’s performance over its lifetime to ensure they are at peak performance."
The new centre will reportedly be based in a redevelopment near Bristol Bridge.
Earlier this year, the company announced plans to create a Robotics Centre in Wiltshire and in Singapore, Dyson is is constructing its first battery plant which is thought to be open by 2025.
Sir James Dyson, founder of Dyson, said: "Software, connectivity, AI, and proprietary new technology batteries will power the next generation of Dyson technology.
