Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. introduces JetBot 90 AI+ Vacuum with AI-Based Sensors and Navigation

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. introduces innovative new home appliances that can help automate daily tasks. The new JetBot 90 AI+ features smart technologies that optimize its cleaning route and respond to its environment. Meanwhile, Samsung’s new AI Control Front Load washers and dryers use artificial intelligence to learn user preferences and recommend optimal washing and drying cycles. Both the JetBot 90 AI+ and smart washer were recently recognized with this year’s CES Innovation Awards and will arrive in the U.S. in the first half of 2021.

 

“At Samsung, we’re committed to delivering new appliance innovations that inspire families, while helping make life at home easier in ways not thought of before,” said John Herrington, Senior Vice President, General Manager of Home Appliances. “By automating your floor care and learning your laundry preferences, these new home appliances remove items from your to-do list, freeing you up to do more of what you love.”

 

JetBot 90 AI+ Vacuum with AI-Based Sensors and Navigation

The JetBot 90 AI+—the world’s first smart robotic vacuum, powered by Intel® AI—gives your floors an amazing clean with minimal effort.

 

Using a combination of sensors and AI-enhanced object recognition technology, the JetBot 90 AI+ navigates your home with the same efficiency and care you do. A LiDAR sensor, similar to that used in self-driving cars, detects distance and tracks location for precise movements. A 3D sensor recognizes the difference between objects such as a toy and the leg of a chair, detects even small objects on the floor, and recognizes a room’s shape to maneuver around it. An object recognition algorithm allows it to identify objects of all kinds and map the safest, most efficient route. JetBot 90 AI+ then uses this information to clean closely around items on the floor, while being sure to maintain a safe distance from fragile or delicate objects, and to lower itself under furniture when needed. If anything is classified as dangerous or likely to cause secondary contamination, it will simply avoid the object.

 

As it cleans the floor, the JetBot 90 AI+’s advanced digital inverter motor maximizes the 30W suction power of its Jet Cyclone system to trap dust from the air and dirt from the floor. The unit’s self-cleaning brush, which has fine fibers made of soft woven textiles, picks up dust from hard floor and reaches into crevices.

	When it’s finished cleaning, the JetBot 90 AI+ automatically heads back to the Clean Station™, Samsung’s signature disposal system. There, it empties the dirt, dust, and hair it has collected into a bag that you only need to replace once every two to three months.

 

And by connecting to your smartphone via the Samsung SmartThings app, the JetBot 90 AI+ literally puts its cleaning power in your hands. Control your vacuum from anywhere—schedule a clean, set “no-go zones” on a map of your home, or even connect to its camera to keep an eye on your home and your pets while you’re away.

Streamlined Clothing Care with AI-Powered Washer-Dryer Pair

Samsung’s AI innovations are continually changing the way consumers tackle everyday tasks. The new 8800 Series AI Control Front Load washers and dryers have been redesigned to make laundry easier, more intuitive, and less stressful.

 

Samsung is bringing its signature AI Control technology to the new laundry pair. The AI Control intelligently learns your preferred cycles and settings, then prioritizes them for quick access in a simplified, easy-to-use control panel. It also recommends specific cycles based on intelligent learning of past cycles run on particular days of the week or at specific times.

	Its powerful AI Wash feature detects the laundry load’s weight and uses a patented Turbidity Sensor to determine the ideal amount of water and detergent to use in the cycle. It also determines how long to wash clothing, ensuring that clothes come out their cleanest.

 

Using a stacked washer and dryer has never been easier for the Auto Cycle Link feature automatically selects the best drying course based on your usual or past wash courses. 

 

You can also use the SmartThings app to receive end of cycle alerts, remotely start or stop your wash, schedule cycles, and more, right from your smartphone.

 

The JetBot 90 AI+ and laundry pair will be on display at Samsung’s virtual CES exhibit from January 11 to 14. For more information on Samsung’s latest products, please visit https://www.samsung.com/us/explore/experiences/ces2021.

 

Federal Land, Inc. partners with Nomura Real Estate for the first Mitsukoshi Mall

The Philippine real estate industry continues to enjoy steady growth attributed to, among other things, an equally steady increase in demand in the residential condominium segment. As the income of the middle to upper-middle class grows, their taste has also become more discerning. They are now more concerned about products that are reflective of their lifestyle choices and products that provide conveniences and comfort.

PROUD Tower Nagoya

Prime real estate developer, Federal Land, Inc., recognized this shift in demand. In one of their more recent forays, they have chosen to collaborate with another leading property developer from Japan, Nomura Real Estate Development, Co., Ltd., whose vision for quality, value, and customer satisfaction equals their own.

Founded in 1957 in Tokyo, Japan, Nomura Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is one of the affiliates of the Nomura Group of Companies which has a history of more than 90 years of investment banking experience. One of the more prominent members of this group is Nomura Securities, one of Japan’s largest financial institutions. The Real Estate Company engages in residential development, corporate real estate brokerage, commercial property development, building leasing, and architectural design businesses across Japan, and recently, in China, Vietnam, and Thailand.

Nomura has not only dedicated itself to going beyond normal design boundaries, but has continuously explored new technologies that better serves the urban landscape of its properties. Under its quality residential brands, PROUD and OHANA, Nomura has gained a reputation for quality in market-leading locations they are present in, bringing life and value to the environments they build.

“As a company, we look for equally strong partners in every project. We consider it an honor to bring the excellence that Nomura Real Estate is known for and to share it with the Philippines. We’re very happy to find a good partner in Federal Land Inc. so we can transform our vision of integrating all that is precious to people and communities, into reality,” said Mr. Eiji Kutsukake, Chairman of Nomura Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.

The Seasons Residences is the first project of the partnership between Federal Land, Nomura Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., and retail giant, Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings, Co. Ltd. It is a four-tower Japanese-inspired residential development which will be home to the first Mitsukoshi Mall in the country. It is currently under construction at Federal Land’s Grand Central Park in Bonifacio Global City. This venture promises to offer a harmonious, innovative and technology-led home that elevates the lifestyles of the growing population of discerning buyers.

“By combining our knowledge and enthusiasm with our high level of technical skills, we can offer the best products and services to the partnership,” Mr. Kutsukake said. The Seasons Residences benefits from Nomura’s expertise on design efficiency. Among other features, this translates to maximized storage spaces within the units, clean technology (where each unit will have tiles that minimize excess humidity, unpleasant odors and harmful substances in the air), and safety (the use of visco-elastic coupling dampers to reduce wind and earthquake vibrations). 

“In Japan, we experience a lot of natural disasters such as earthquakes, and there is a great need for safety among consumers. The Philippines also faces the threat of earthquakes, so we would like to spread the importance of safety to the market by using a Japanese earthquake vibration technology that can protect the buildings from, not just earthquakes, but typhoons as well.”

The partnership will also be building the much-anticipated Mitsukoshi Mall at the podium of the residential towers of The Seasons Residences. This four-storey retail development is set to provide a holistic Japanese shopping experience to the Philippine retail.
