Samsung’s new robotic vacuum cleaner uses the same LiDAR sensor technology as autonomous cars to detect obstacles and react accordingly.
According to the company, the JetBot 90 AI + 3D sensors are sophisticated enough to know which objects it can hit, like a table leg, and which ones to stay away from, like a houseplant or pet poop. pet.
Perhaps best of all, the vacuum cleaner empties its contents into an easily portable bag that can be removed and thrown away every few months.
Samsung launched the JetBot 90 AI + at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where it also unveiled an AI-powered laundry system that learns user preferences and recommends ideal washing and drying cycles.

With Intel technology, the JetBot 90 AI + combines a LiDAR sensor, similar to that used in autonomous vehicles, with AI-enhanced object recognition technology to detect distances and track accurate locations.
The sensor can differentiate objects and even recognize the shape of a room to maneuver around them efficiently and safely.
“An object recognition algorithm allows you to identify objects of all types and map the most secure and efficient route,” says the company.
‘JetBot 90 AI + then uses this information to clean well around items on the floor, making sure to keep a safe distance from fragile or delicate objects, and to duck under furniture when necessary.’
The vacuum cleaner motor traps airborne dust and dirt from the floor.

When it finishes its task, the device goes back to its Clean Station to recharge and empty the dirt and dust gathered in a practical bag that only needs to be emptied every few months.
Samsung claims that the system even knows how to avoid things that are ‘dangerous or that can cause secondary contamination’, such as splashing or messing up pets, and will send a notification to clean them separately.
When it completes its task, the device goes back to its Clean Station to recharge and empty the dirt, dust and hair that is collected in a practical bag that only needs to be replaced every two or three months.
According to Samsung, the 3D sensors on the JetBot 90 AI + are sophisticated enough to know which objects it can hit, like a child’s toy or table leg, and which ones to stay away from, like a plant or animal poop. pet
The vacuum cleaner is integrated with the Samsung SmartThings app, allowing users to schedule cleaning, establish no-go zones or even keep an eye on the home through a built-in camera

The app also works with Samsung’s new 8800 Series Smart Dial front load washers to allow homeowners to stop or start washing remotely, schedule a cycle or receive warnings that their clothes are dry.

“At Samsung, we are committed to delivering appliance innovations that inspire families, while helping to make life at home easier in ways never thought of before,” said John Herrington, senior vice president and general manager of home appliances.
“By automating floor care and learning your laundry preferences, these new appliances remove items from your to-do list, freeing you to do more of what you love.”
Monday begins the first day of CES, which usually hosts thousands of tech enthusiasts from around the world in Las Vegas.
However, due to the persistent coronavirus pandemic, the conference in person was moved entirely online.
