Samsung’s new robot vacuum cleaner uses the same LiDAR sensor technology as self-driving cars to detect and respond to obstacles.
According to the company, the 3D sensors on the JetBot 90 AI + are sophisticated enough to know which objects it can collide with, such as a table leg, and to indicate a wide lair, such as a houseplant or shit.
Best of all, the vacuum cleaner empties the contents into an easy-to-carry bag that you can take out and throw away every few months.
Samsung rolled out the JetBot 90 AI + at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where it also unveiled an AI-developed laundry system that learns user preferences and recommends optimal wash and dry cycles.

Powered by Intel, the JetBot 90 combines AI + a LiDAR sensor, similar to those used in autonomous vehicles, with AI-enhanced object recognition technology to track distance and locate exact locations.
The sensor can distinguish between objects and even recognize the shape of a room to move around efficiently and safely.
“With an object recognition algorithm, it can identify all types of objects and map the safest, most efficient route,” the company says.
‘JetBot 90 AI + then uses this information to clean well around the objects on the floor, while making sure you keep a safe distance from fragile or delicate objects, and to lower them under the furniture if necessary is.’
The vacuum cleaner’s car holds both dust from the air and dirt from the floor.

After completing the task, the device returns to the Clean Station to recharge the dirt and dust that has been loaded and emptied into a handy bag that only needs to be emptied every few months.
Samsung claims that the system even knows that it’s avoiding things that are ‘dangerous or likely to cause secondary pollution’, such as spills or pet dents, and will send you a notification to clean it up separately.
After completing its task, the device returns to the Clean Station to pick up the dirt, dust and hair and pack in a handy bag that only needs to be replaced every two to three months.
According to Samsung, the 3D sensors on the JetBot 90 AI + are sophisticated enough to know which objects it can bump into, such as a child’s toy or table leg, and to indicate a wide position, such as a plant or pet poop.
The vacuum cleaner is integrated into the Samsung SmartThings app, which allows users to plan cleaning, set up no zones or even watch the house via a built-in camera

The app also works with Samsung’s new 8800 Series Smart Dial Front Load Washers to allow owners to remotely stop or start washing, plan a cycle or receive notifications that their clothes are dry.

“At Samsung, we are committed to introducing new appliance innovations that inspire families, while at the same time making life at home easier than previously thought,” said John Herrington, senior vice president, general manager of home appliances.
“By automating your floor care and getting to know your laundry preferences, these new household items remove items from your to-do list so you can do more of what you love.”
Monday marks the start of the first day of CES, which typically hosts thousands of tech enthusiasts from around the world in Las Vegas.
However, due to the protracted coronavirus pandemic, the personal conference has been moved completely online.
