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 3D sensors of the JetBot 90 AI + are sophisticated enough to know which objects it can hit, such as a table leg, and which wide spaces, such as an indoor plant or a pet poop.
Perhaps best of all, the vacuum empties the contents into an easily portable bag that can be lifted 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 users ’preferences and recommends optimal washing and drying cycles.

Powered by Intel, the JetBot 90 AI + combines a LiDAR sensor, similar to that used in autonomous vehicles, with AI-enhanced object recognition technology to detect distance and track accurate locations.
The sensor can differentiate objects and even recognize the shape of a room to maneuver efficiently and safely around it.
“An object recognition algorithm allows you to identify objects of all kinds and plot the safest and most efficient route,” the company states.
“JetBot 90 AI + uses this information to clean up floor items closely, while being sure to keep a safe distance from fragile or delicate objects and get under furniture when needed.”
The vacuum engine traps both air dust and ground dirt.

When you have completed your task, the appliance returns to its clean station to recharge and empty the dirt and dust that has gathered in a practical bag that only needs to be emptied every few months.
Samsung says the system even knows how to avoid things that are “dangerous or likely to cause secondary contamination,” such as spills or pet messes, and will send you a notification to clean them separately.
When you have finished your work, the appliance returns 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 changed every two or three months.
According to Samsung, the JetBot 90 AI + 3D sensors are sophisticated enough to know which objects it can collide with, such as a child’s toy or table leg, and which wide moorings, such as plant or pet poop.
The vacuum is integrated with the Samsung SmartThings app, which allows users to schedule cleanups, set no-go zones or even keep an eye on the home using a built-in camera

The app also works with Samsung’s new 8800 series smart dial front-loading washers to allow owners to remotely stop or start a wash, schedule a cycle, or receive alerts that their clothes are dry.

“At Samsung we are committed to delivering new home appliance innovations that inspire families, while helping to make home life easier in ways not previously thought,” said John Herrington, senior vice president, general manager of home appliances. .
“By automating floor care and learning your clothing preferences, these new appliances remove items from your to-do list and set you free to do more than you like.”
Monday marks the start of 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 face-to-face conference has completely moved to the Internet.
