How Samsung Raised the Bar for Smart Robot Vacuums with Jet Bot AI+
In summer 2021, Samsung Electronics announced the global launch of its new Jet Bot AI+ robot vacuum. First presented at CES 2021, the robot vacuum demonstrates the company's leadership in providing consumers with innovative and intelligent solutions for optimizing everyday home cleaning.
“Jet Bot AI+ reflects Samsung's ongoing commitment to creating devices that deliver dynamic performance capable of adapting to the varied needs of our consumers. We are truly delighted to introduce a robot vacuum equipped with advanced object detection and recognition technologies. Now consumers can clean their homes more intelligently and efficiently, using Jet Bot powered by artificial intelligence, which makes cleaning more personalized and convenient”
AI-Powered Object Recognition and Navigation
Jet Bot AI+ is the world's first robot vacuum equipped with an active stereo-type 3D sensor that precisely scans a wide area to avoid running over small, hard-to-detect objects on the floor. Its three-dimensional depth camera, equivalent to 256,000 distance sensors, can accurately detect obstacles as small as 1 cm. This revolutionary object detection can prevent the device from getting stuck on small obstacles in its cleaning path.
Jet Bot AI+ is also the first vacuum equipped with Intel AI solutions, powering its Jet AI object recognition technology. The intelligent solution allows the robot to navigate with greater precision, recognizing not only items on the floor but also household appliances and furniture. This decision-making by the robot ensures that users can clean in close proximity to objects such as children's toys, while keeping the vacuum at a safe distance from fragile items such as porcelain vases.
To avoid problems, pet waste, glass cups and electrical cables can be classified as hazardous items or ones that could cause secondary contamination. Jet Bot AI+ is equipped with a LiDAR sensor that accurately calculates its position, optimizing its cleaning path by repeatedly scanning the room to collect distance information.
This technology works well in dark places, such as low-light rooms or under furniture, so the device can cover a large area with minimal blind spots.
Powerful Cleaning From Start to Finish
Users can clean their homes more thoroughly with advanced technologies that ensure effective cleaning. The digital motor of Jet Bot AI+ increases suction power for deeper cleaning. Thanks to the intelligent power control function, the new robot vacuum can even determine the type of surface to be cleaned, as well as the amount of dust on it.
Using this information, the device can automatically adjust suction power for more optimal cleaning. Jet Bot AI+ comes with many hygiene-related features that make mopping effortless, ensuring that dust is reliably captured and less likely to be released back into the air. Its advanced five-layer filtration system captures 99.99% of micro dust, including particles of 0.5~4.2 µm that easily become airborne.
All parts and filters are washable, so they can be kept hygienic. Jet Bot AI+ connects to a cleaning station that collects dirt and hair into a 2.5 L dust bag and needs to be replaced only once every 1-3 months. After cleaning, the robot vacuum automatically returns to the station, emptying itself using Air Pulse technology, supplemented by a multi-layer filtration system.
Convenient Cleaning for Hassle-Free Use
Users can operate and monitor Jet Bot AI+ remotely using the SmartThings app on their smartphones. The bot can be scheduled to clean selectively in one or several rooms using the Select & Go function. The app can also be used to individually define virtual no-go zones to keep the device out of certain areas without the need for physical barriers.
The smart robot offers Bixby 12 voice recognition capabilities, allowing users to use voice commands to schedule cleaning sessions, change modes, or even request up-to-date information such as news or weather updates.
With Live Cleaning Report, you can easily track the movement of your Jet Bot AI+ in real time on a virtual map of your home. Users can see where it has already cleaned, pause it, or command it to stop cleaning. After cleaning is complete, you can check the history to see the time, route, and cleaned areas.
Furthermore, users can remotely monitor their home using the Jet Bot AI+ patrol mode, which uses the device's front camera to livestream video through the SmartThings app. Patrol mode lets users keep an eye on the rooms they want to check while away from home. The smart device also supports end-to-end encryption, so video recordings are protected and can be viewed only by an authorized user.
