The incorporation of artificial intelligence in household appliances is a trend that is growing more and more every day. This trend is expected to continue growing in the coming years to make domestic life simpler and more efficient thanks to technology. Different major brands of household appliances and technological products are betting heavily on the creation and implementation of gadgets for home use with properties and functions that include AI. Such is the case of Samsung, which has already launched and plans to launch lines of different appliances with functionalities that include AI.
AI everywhere
Appliance manufacturers like Samsung are incorporating artificial intelligence into refrigerators, washing machines, robot vacuum cleaners and ovens to make them smarter and more efficient. Recent advances have shown that refrigerators, for example, have increasingly intelligent functionalities. They can recognize food that is stored inside them through cameras. They also have functions to automatically adjust the temperature and humidity in each of their compartments. Features that fulfill the function of keeping food fresh for longer.
While AI washing machines come with features that optimize water and electricity use using as a guide the weight of the clothing, level of soiling and type of fabric. Other types of washing machines can even dose the detergent according to the wash cycle.
As for the smart ovens, there are already those on the market that can monitor temperature constantly for more uniform cooking results. They do this through sensors and algorithms. Some are even able to recognize the type of food and, based on this, choose the appropriate program for cooking.
Robot vacuum cleaners, for their part, create precise maps of the home and with this data they project a cleaning route. Vacuum cleaner models are capable of recognizing different types of floors and adjusting their operation accordingly.
Samsung incorporates artificial intelligence into a wide range of products
The Frame, decorative frame.
Samsung has recently presented its technological innovations for 2024, with a clear focus on incorporating artificial intelligence across its entire product line. Televisions, smartphones, household appliances like vacuum cleaners and washing machines, AI seems to be everywhere.
One of the protagonists is his new NQ8 AI Gen 3 processor for televisions, which offers important improvements. For example, its intelligent upscaling can convert low-resolution videos to stunning 8K quality. It also reduces ghosting in fast-moving images, such as sporting events. Additionally, AI is used to optimize energy consumption.
As for televisions, Samsung presented an OLED model called S95D which incorporates a new anti-glare panel, similar to that of the recent S24 Ultra phone. Such functions significantly reduce annoying reflections on the screen.
Another interesting product is music frame, which combines a decorative frame, like Samsung's well-known The Frame, with a powerful speaker system. It can be paired with a Samsung TV to create a surround sound system.
Beyond entertainment, AI also reaches Samsung appliances such as vacuum cleaners and washing machines. For example, Bespoke Jet AI vacuum cleaners detect different types of floors to adjust its operation, while washing machines optimize washing cycles according to the load.
AI in appliances makes tasks such as cooking, cleaning and organizing food more autonomous. But its incorporation into these devices also aims to make them collaborate among themselves in the concept of «smart home«.
