Samsung Electronics Unveils AI Robot Vacuum Cleaner 'Jetbot AI' at CES

Samsung Electronics unveiled the new robot vacuum cleaner "JetBot AI" at the world's largest home appliance exhibition, "CES 2021," held online on the 11th.

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] On the 11th, Samsung Electronics unveiled the new robot vacuum cleaner "JetBot AI" at the world's largest home appliance exhibition, CES 2021, held online.

The JetBot AI is the world's first robot vacuum cleaner equipped with Intel's AI processor (Intel® Movidius™), significantly improving autonomous driving capabilities.

Samsung Electronics explained that to improve the driving performance, which existing robot vacuum users found most inconvenient, they applied deep learning-based object recognition technology and equipped it with LiDAR and 3D sensors.

Additionally, by applying Intel AI processor, a high-performance processor for object recognition, it can process a large amount of information quickly.

The JetBot AI recognizes major obstacles, home appliances, and furniture by pre-learning over one million images based on deep learning.

Moreover, the 3D sensor recognizes low-height objects and complex structures that conventional 2D sensors could not detect, and it detects the distance and shape of obstacles within 1 meter to avoid them in advance.

The LiDAR sensor analyzes objects inside the house to recognize its current location and creates a map of the space. This allows users to select specific areas or rooms for cleaning.

By applying a high-performance AI processor and sensors together, the JetBot AI autonomously recognizes and avoids towels or socks that previously caused suction blockages, as well as cups, wires, and pet waste.

When you say "Clean around the refrigerator," it understands and cleans that area

Since the JetBot AI recognizes not only obstacles on the floor but also home appliances and furniture, it can be instructed to clean around them. It also supports Bixby voice recognition, so when the user says, "Clean around the refrigerator," the JetBot AI automatically cleans that area.

The JetBot AI applies the automatic dust disposal system "Clean Station," which has gained great popularity when applied to the wireless vacuum cleaner "Samsung Jet," making not only cleaning but also the dust emptying process smart.

The JetBot AI's Clean Station not only automatically empties the dustbin but also blocks 99.999% of fine dust that may occur during the dustbin cleaning process.

This product was recognized for its differentiated product power and was named a "CES 2021 Innovation Award" winner. Samsung Electronics plans to launch the JetBot AI in the Korean market in the first half of the year.

Lee Ki-soo, Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Home Appliance Business Division, said, "The JetBot AI is a product that can revolutionize the cleaning experience for consumers whose burden of housework has increased as the time spent at home has increased," and added, "We will continue to introduce various products incorporating AI technology in the future."
