There are a few new devices out there, and not just refrigerators, as Samsung is bringing AI to the laundry.
No matter where you look, there’s a lot going on in the world of machine learning and AI, and how it can benefit us. Optus uses it to translate languages during a phone call, Google uses it in multiple ways including understanding skin conditions and improving your phone’s camera, to name a few .
Artificial intelligence and the world of machine learning are affecting so many industries that it’s hard to keep up with, and the next step could be your laundry. Essentially, by understanding your habits, a washing machine can end up saving water and energy, and even save you some time trying to figure out how to wash your clothes.
It’s part of what Samsung is rolling out in its latest washing machines, with both a washer and dryer line supporting sensors designed to understand what you’re throwing in your washer and dryer, optimizing water, detergent amount and rinse time including clothing dirt and weight, while also learning about using your washing machine.
The range is part of the Samsung Smart AI range and includes three front-loading washing machines – one of 8.5 kg, one of 12 kg and one of 16 kg – while the dryers are based on a heat pump. and cover a model of 8 kg, 9 kg and 10 kg. Each includes sensors to analyze the load, with the dryer being able to communicate with the washing machine via WiFi and synchronize the settings of those specific washing machine models, drying clothes using what it considers. the correct cycle for the load.
Part of that logic comes from research showing that people on average use less than four of a washing machine’s 14 wash cycle options, which suggests they’re looking for something easy and simple. With a system capable of learning and acting for the daily user, this means that time is saved, while the system itself optimizes the load, potentially saving water and detergent. .
On the dryer side, an “AI Dry” system uses up to nine sensors to check the temperature and humidity levels inside the drum in order to adjust the drying time according to the reaction of the clothes to the dryer. the heat.
“Samsung’s Smart AI line of washing machines and dryers are designed to make laundry simple, fast and efficient,” said Andrew Wand, director of home appliances at Samsung in Australia.
“They don’t just connect to WiFi, but also learn how you wash and give you real-time recommendations to make it less of a chore,” he said.
The range also includes other features, such as a bubble production mode that aims to get suds into clothes in hot and cold water, while Samsung’s AddWash door for you to throw in Missed items like socks or underwear can be found in the entire line of washing machines.
Pricing for Samsung washing machines starts at $ 999 for the 8.5kg model, while dryers start at $ 1,599 locally.
