RETAILOBSERVER.COM JUNE 2021 24 floor care and learning your laundry preferences, these new home appliances remove items from your to-do list, freeing you to do more of what you love." Using a combination of sensors and AI-enhanced object recognition technology, the JetBot 90 AI+ navigates your home with the same efficiency and care that you do. A LiDAR sensor, similar to that used in self-driving cars, detects distance and tracks location for precise movements. A 3D sensor recognizes the difference between objects such as a toy and the leg of a chair, detects even small objects on the floor, and recognizes a room's shape to maneuver around it. An object recognition algorithm allows it to identify objects of all kinds and map the safest, most efficient route. JetBot 90 AI+ then uses this information to clean closely around items on the floor, while being sure to maintain a safe distance from fragile or delicate objects, and to lower itself under furniture when needed. If anything is classified as dangerous or likely to cause secondary contamination, it will simply avoid the object. As it cleans the floor, the JetBot 90 AI+'s advanced digital inverter motor maximizes the 30W suction power of its Jet Cyclone system to trap dust from the air and dirt from the floor. The unit's self-cleaning brush, which has fine fibers made of soft woven textiles, picks up dust from hard floors and reaches into crevices. When it's finished cleaning, the JetBot 90 AI+ automatically heads back to the Clean Station™, Samsung's signature disposal system. There, it empties the dirt, dust and hair it has collected into a bag that you only need to replace once every two to three months. And by connecting to your smartphone via the Samsung SmartThings app, the JetBot 90 AI+ literally puts its cleaning power in your hands. Control your vacuum from anywhere – schedule a clean, set "no-go zones" on a map of your home, or even connect to its camera to keep an eye on your home and your pets while you're away. Samsung's AI innovations are continually changing the way consumers tackle everyday tasks. The new 8800 Series Smart Dial Front Load washers and dryers have been redesigned to make laundry easier, more intuitive, and less stressful. Samsung is bringing its signature Smart Dial technology to the new laundry pair. The Smart Dial intelligently learns your preferred cycles and settings, then prioritizes them for quick access in a simplified, easy- to-use control panel. It also recommends specific cycles based on intelligent learning of past cycles run on particular days of the week or at specific times. Its powerful OptiWash feature detects the laundry load's weight and uses a patented Turbidity Sensor to determine the ideal amount of water and detergent to use in the cycle. It also determines how long to wash clothing, ensuring that clothes come out their cleanest. Using a stacked washer and dryer has never been easier. With the MultiControl feature, you can fully operate both the washer and the dryer right from a centralized panel on the washer, keeping all controls within easy reach. You can also use the SmartThings app to receive end of cycle alerts, remotely start or stop your wash, schedule cycles, and more, right from your smartphone.
