Samsung Electronics' 'Bespoke Jet Bot AI' Popular... Robot Vacuum Sales Quadruple

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Samsung Electronics is continuing its rapid growth in the domestic robot vacuum cleaner market, driven by the popularity of its AI robot vacuum cleaner, the Bespoke Jet Bot AI.

On the 28th, Samsung Electronics announced that since the launch of the Bespoke Jet Bot AI at the end of April, robot vacuum cleaner sales have grown more than fourfold compared to the same period last year through the end of August. Among them, the Bespoke Jet Bot AI accounted for 60% of total sales, leading the growth.

The Bespoke Jet Bot AI is Samsung Electronics' top-tier robot vacuum cleaner product equipped with cutting-edge AI technologies such as LiDAR sensors, 3D sensors, and AI object recognition solutions. With advanced AI technology, the product accurately recognizes the structure of the home, furniture, and appliances to quickly map the space and implements differentiated autonomous driving capabilities based on this. It also three-dimensionally detects and avoids obstacles such as towels, socks, wires, and pet waste?which were difficult for previous Samsung robot vacuum cleaners to recognize?as well as small objects as tiny as 1㎤.

Based on Samsung Electronics' accumulated technology, the Bespoke Jet Bot AI applies a 'digital inverter motor' and 'jet cyclone' structure that come with a lifetime warranty, delivering powerful suction and excellent cleaning performance. After cleaning, the main unit returns to the Clean Station to start charging and automatically empties the dustbin using air pulse technology that utilizes air pressure differences.

One of its major strengths is the ability to care for pets through the 'SmartThings Pet' service. It offers daily recording that captures and shows the pet’s daily life at preset times and locations, and a pet-finding feature that notifies users in real-time when the pet is recognized during autonomous driving.

Additionally, it detects and alerts users to abnormal behaviors such as excessive barking or prolonged inactivity. It also plays music that helps soothe pets through the speakers built into the Jet Bot AI or plays videos on Samsung Smart TVs linked with SmartThings to aid pet comfort.

Hwang Tae-hwan, Executive Vice President of Samsung Electronics Korea, said, "The Bespoke Jet Bot AI is receiving great love by differentiating itself with autonomous driving capabilities, which robot vacuum users consider most important, as well as cleaning performance and pet care functions. We will continue to strengthen our leadership in the vacuum cleaner market with products that satisfy diverse consumer demands based on our unique AI technology."
