FULL STORY ======================================================================

The best robot vacuums make cleaning your floors a breeze, as they take on
the chore completely pootling around your home sucking up fine dust, dirt
and any other debris in its patch, while you put your feet up and take a well-earned rest.

Many of todays best robot vacuums have powerful suction that can rival the best vacuum cleaners on the market, along with rechargeable batteries that
can outlast some of the best cordless vacuums , too. They can be controlled either by a smartphone or your voice thanks to integration with Alexa and Google Assistant, while state-of-the-art sensors ensure the machine doesnt bump into your furniture or fall down any stairs.

Its been more than four years since Samsung launched a robot vacuum but, at CES this year, Samsung unveiled a new robot vacuum that used Intels AI technology to ensure it could navigate its way around your home as easily as you do. So its no surprise we're keenly awaiting the release of the Samsung Jet Bot 90 AI+ to see just what innovations theyll be surprising us with
next. Cut to the chase What is it? A new Samsung robot vacuum that can double as a home security camera. How much will it cost? Expected to start from $499 (around 350 / AU$645). When will it be out? June or July 2021 Samsung Jet Bot 90 AI+ price and release date

Samsungs current robot vacuum, the Powerbot VR7000 range, was first unveiled at CES 2017, and is priced between $499 (around 350 / AU$645) and $899
(around 635 / AU$1,160), depending upon the model chosen the more suction power, the softer the brush and the number of accessories the robovac ships with affects how much it costs. Unfortunately, this range of robot vacuums is only available in the US and has never been released in the UK or Australia.

With this in mind, we expect the Samsung Jet Bot 90 AI+ to cost between $499 and 899 depending upon how many models are launched, and the difference between them, although inflation might dictate a very small rise if the features inside dont dramatically change.

The Samsung Jet Bot 90 AI+ robot vacuum was first unveiled at CES 2021, and
at the time Samsung said the robot vacuum cleaner would launch in the first half of 2021, and has recently confirmed the robot vacuum will launch in the US and Europe in June 2021 . However, considering there are only a few days left in June, Samsung looks set to miss that initial deadline. Instead, we expect the tech giant to launch the robot vacuum in July at the earliest.

Samsung could also delay it until late August/early September 2021 - a time when it would usually unveil its latest crop of small appliances at the IFA-trade show, which happens in Berlin, Germany in September. However, due
to the global pandemic, IFA was unable to take place in 2020 and Samsung
opted to host its own virtual event called Life Unstoppable instead. IFA 2021 has also been canceled , so once again we expect Samsung to hold a virtual event in place of the conference.

for these robot vacuum cleaners below: Samsung Jet Bot 90 AI+ Design

The Samsung Jet Bot 90 AI+ robot vacuum has a similar circular design to many robot vacuums on the market, and offers 30w of suction power and sucks up
dust from the air as well as from the floor. It can even automatically adjust the suction power to suit the type of floor its cleaning, as well as the amount of dust and debris it needs to suck up - a feature weve seen on some
of the best vacuum cleaners such as the Dyson V15 Detect .

Samsung also says the robot vacuum can rotate through 360 degrees and has a brush bar with soft bristles, which can easily reach into tight crevices. The brush bar is self cleaning, too.

The Samsung Jet Bot 90 AI+ also includes a base unit, known as a Clean Station, which the robot vacuum will return to when its full and
automatically empty its dust bin into a 0.55 gallon / 2.5-liter dust bag that you only need to replace once every two to three months, according to
Samsung. (Image credit: Samsung) Samsung Jet Bot 90 AI+ Features



The Samsung Jet Bot 90 AI+ robot vacuum has a range of sensors that ensure it can navigate around a home without bumping into anything. The first is a 3D depth camera, which has a 60-degree horizontal field of view and a 40-degree vertical field of view, to scan the area 1m wide in front of the robot vacuum cleaner to detect, and avoid, objects on the floor as small as 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches / 1 x 1 x 1cm.

Next up, Artificial Intelligence (AI) ensures the Samsung Jet Bot 90 AI+ can identify the objects on the floor, as well as any appliances and furniture in the room, and clean as close to them as possible without colliding into them. For example, itll give a porcelain vase a wider berth than it would a childs toy.

If the Jet Bot 90 AI+ thinks the object will cause secondary contamination or could be dangerous, it will simply avoid it, so theres no fear of it trailing mud or pet poop around your home because it thought it was something it could clean up. Similarly, the AI smart will put an end to fishing charging cables out from the dust bin because the robot vacuum cleaned too close to them and they were sucked up.

Finally, the on-board LiDAR sensor can accurately judge distance and location to ensure the robot vacuum follows the optimal cleaning path around the room. It scans through 360 degrees over an area of 6m, 10 times a second to ensure its as accurate as possible. According to Samsung, this technology works well in low-lit rooms or underneath furniture.

The Jet Bot AI+ can be controlled manually or by the SmartThings app on Android and iOS smartphones. As well as allowing you to schedule cleaning sessions and even set no-go areas in your home, the app also lets you keep an eye on your home when youre not around through Patrol Mode, which utilizes
the robot vacuums camera. End-to-end encryption is employed so video clips
are secure and can only be viewed by an authorized user.

While this feature isnt new for robot vacuum cleaners models such as the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI already offer this it is new for Samsung robot vacuums and can be accessed via the SmartThings app.

It also has Bixby, Samsung's voice assistant built-in, so you can use voice commands to start the robot vacuum on a cleaning spree, change the cleaning mode or even just ask for the news or the weather. Check out these great
