Samsung Marries AI with Robot Vacuums in the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo

Leave a comment

It seems like CES 2024 is going to be jam-packed with announcements. Samsung is joining the likes of LG in teasing a few of its announcements ahead of the expo happening in Las Vegas from 9th to 12th January 2024. However, with its tease of a brand new lineup of vacuums, a theme is beginning to emerge for the company’s products for the year – AI.

The Bespoke Jet Bot Combo is, as the name indicates, a combo robot vacuum and mop. Samsung is not calling the robot cleaner an AI-enabled device though. Instead, the company is calling it an AI-applied device. Samsung is building on the foundations of its Bespoke Jet Bot AI+ with the new enhancements that the new Bespoke Jet Bot Combo is bringing.

Most notable among the enhancements in the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo is the improved AI Object Recognition. The new AI Object Recognition comes with an expanded number of objects that can be recognised as well as more precise driving thanks to the 3D sensor. It’s also bringing improvements that allow it to recognise spaces and stains for a more optimised cleaning experience. The AI allows for better space recognition that allows it to recognise different spaces like the kitchen, the living room and the bedroom. It will also be able to automatically suggest “no-go” zones like the bathroom, veranda or entrance. So you’ll be able to tell the vacuum to avoid those areas.

The Bespoke Jet Bot Combo can even sense the floor type for enhanced cleaning with a new feature called AI Floor Detect. This feature allows the robot to differentiate between hard floors and carpeting. It also helps prevent carpets from getting damp and wet from the mop pads. This feature also allows the Jet Bot to raise and lower the mop pads when needed. It can even detach the mop pads at the base for cleaning carpeted areas or preventing cross-contamination.

The base provides a more intelligent cleaning experience. It uses a high-temperature steam for sterilization for cleaning of the mop pads. This can be done mid-cleaning when the Jet Bot detects that it is cleaning a stain. After cleaning the base uses a 3-step total cleaning system which automatically washes the pads, steam sterilizes and dries the mops with hot air.

Pricing & Availability

Samsung has not revealed any pricing details just yet. However, the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo will be at the company’s CES 2024 booth in Las Vegas.

Samsung’s Fan Edition isn’t just for the Galaxy S23 FE this year, it’s expanding beyond just its smartphone. This year, the Galaxy Tab S9 and Galaxy Buds lineups are also getting affordable, scaled-back Goldilocks versions under the ‘FE’ moniker. The Galaxy Tab S9 is getting a little bit of special treatment with two devices getting the FE treatment – the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and Tab S9 FE+. Where the “+” plays a significant part in how the devices have been designed and optimised.

The Galaxy Tab S9 series takes the baton from the Tab S7 FE. The new series of tablets brings some of the features from the recently announced Galaxy Tab S9 series to a more affordable price point. It’s also upping the ante from its predecessor. While the tablets don’t come with the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, it comes with the capable Exynos 1380 chipset.

Both tablets in the Galaxy Tab S9 FE series bring substantial improvements in the display department. The Tab S9 FE boasts a 10.9-inch TFT LCD panel, while the Tab S9 FE+ steps it up with a larger 12.4-inch TFT LCD panel. Yes, these sizes are on par with the Tab S9 and S9+. However, they only come with a refresh rate of up to 90Hz and an FHD+ resolution. The tablets also come with Samsung’s Vision Booster technology that enhances outdoor visibility by optimizing colour and contrast, making the tablets usable even in challenging lighting conditions.

These tablets aren’t just about performance; they also focus on sustainability. Both the Galaxy Tab S9 FE and the Tab S9 FE+ are crafted from recycled materials, including pre-consumer recycled aluminium and post-consumer recycled plastics. While they might not be used in 100% of the tablets, they are prominent in select components. Both models, along with the included S Pen, boast an IP68 rating, ensuring dust resistance and the ability to withstand accidental water exposure.

Samsung has also upped its game in the camera department. The FE features an 8-megapixel rear camera and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide front camera. In contrast, the FE+ comes equipped with a dual camera setup on the back with an 8-megapixel main sensor complemented with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide rear camera and the same 12-megapixel ultra-wide front camera. These cameras come with the same software features we’ve seen in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series including auto-framing.

Battery capacity in the FE+ is impressive, with a 10,090mAh unit that can last up to 20 hours of video playback on a single charge. The Tab S9 FE, although slightly smaller in size, still packs a decent 8,000mAh battery. Samsung claims that the battery can go from 0% to 100% in just 90 minutes.

The tablets come with two storage options: 128GB or 256GB. These tablets come with the option to expand storage up to 1TB using a microSD card. When it comes to RAM they come with either 6GB, 8GB or 12GB.
