Samsung Electronics announced on April 19 that it received a total of four awards—two Gold Awards and two Silver Awards—at the 2026 Edison Awards held in Fort Myers, Florida, USA.

Dubbed the "Oscars of Innovation," the Edison Awards is a prestigious annual event in the United States established in 1987 to honor the achievements of inventor Thomas Edison. The awards recognize innovative new products and services in 14 categories, including commercial technology, immersive and interactive experiences, lifestyle and entertainment, and design, by selecting Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners.

Samsung Electronics was recognized for its innovative technological capabilities, winning the highest honor of two Gold Awards, as well as two Silver Awards.

The Gold Award winners were the futuristic housing design project featuring AI-powered home technology, the "Smart Modular House," and Samsung TV's exclusive integrated AI platform, "Vision AI Companion." The Silver Awards went to the all-in-one washer-dryer "Bespoke AI Combo" and the glasses-free 3D display "Spatial Signage."

The "Smart Modular House" proposes a new residential experience where the home flexibly adapts to the lives of its occupants. For example, a newlywed couple living with the basic module can expand their home by adding separate modules when they have a child. As the child grows, the existing module can be replaced with a smart farm or swimming pool module, allowing the space to be flexibly changed or expanded in line with the users' evolving lifestyles.

Samsung Electronics' integrated AI platform exclusive to Samsung TVs, 'Vision AI Companion,' won the Gold Award at the 2026 Edison Awards.

"Vision AI Companion" is equipped with the industry's largest selection of AI service platforms, including Bixby, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot. It integrates major AI functions for Samsung TV such as real-time translation, generative wallpapers, and optimization of picture, sound, and gaming environments, maximizing usability. Users can easily explore information using the AI button on the remote control.

"Spatial Signage" features Samsung Electronics' proprietary "3D Plate" technology, which, with its slim 52mm profile, creates a sense of depth as if there is another space inside the screen. This three-dimensional effect is enhanced by precisely designed lines, surfaces, and gradients.

The "Bespoke AI Combo" all-in-one washer-dryer uses AI technology to detect the weight, contamination level, and dryness of the laundry, customizing washing and drying times accordingly. It also automatically dispenses the optimal amount of detergent based on the weight of the laundry and learned data from recent loads’ contamination levels.

Mauro Porcini, Chief Design Officer (CDO) of the DX Division at Samsung Electronics, stated, "At Samsung Electronics, we strive to transform people's needs, dreams, and emotions into meaningful experiences based on a deep understanding of individuals," adding, "We will continue to drive innovation that delivers real value to people's lives."
