At the Berlin Electronics Show, artificial intelligence invades household appliances

Artificial intelligence is invading home appliances such as stoves, ovens and washing machines for convenience, as evidenced at the IFA, which will be held in Berlin until September 11.

Mike Henkelman, director of Samsung's TV division, said what will determine how successful one device will be will not be the advantages of its equipment, but the extent of its artificial intelligence.

The technical expert added that devices such as the stove, washing machine and TV will be able to understand the user and interact with him better, pointing out that the basis for all this is represented by a large set of data, which are collected by these devices constantly about the user and habits and preferences.

On the other hand, this means that these devices will always be in the development mode and work to improve themselves by more time required to analyze the behavior of private use to become smarter and meet the demands of the user more predictably.

The oven observes the cooking behavior
Bosch unveiled a Series 8 oven with AI technology. Thomas Zaldett, head of digital systems at the German company, explained that the new oven could notice that it was turned off at a certain time each time after the morning food was placed, for example, so that he himself in the future and after the same time to stop the same operation, as well as equip the oven with sensors for frying and baking Food to see the right time after finishing cooking.

Zaldit added that the speed of learning oven depends on the user first; it depends in the first place that cooking at a constant pace makes it easier for the machine analysis and self-learning.

In other words, such devices need to be fed with data, and send values ​​to the Internet through an application, since the real mind of the device equipped with artificial intelligence technologies is not in the device itself, but in the Internet; if the device is not connected to the Internet, it will separate his mind , Will not be able to receive any data from the cloud and will not learn.

Lighting when the chef approaches:
Miley Generation 7000 notifies the chef when the cooking time is over with a beep. The oven waits for the chef's reaction to stop sounding as soon as the chef moves towards it and the lighting of the cooking room starts. This is possible thanks to the infrared sensors in the device, which respond to movement in front of the device by a distance of twenty to forty centimeters.

Comfort and savings
The main idea of ​​smart devices is based on the concept of convenience, which brings to the user and also savings. Zaldit explained that the robot vacuum cleaner, for example, knows the room, which must go to it at some time to do the cleaning process there. The broom works more economically because it calculates its course smarter.

If the user is used to drinking milk at night, the refrigerator will recognize this routine over time to cool the milk before drinking time to make the milk cool. Smart refrigerator also learn from the experience that the user will sleep after drinking a glass of milk, and then will not open the refrigerator door again until the morning, and thus restrict the cooling process, and then save energy consumption.

Harmony between devices
Thanks to artificial intelligence, devices work more harmoniously; for example, the Siemens "activeLight" stove in the "IQ 700" series and the smart range hood work together, so that the hood always performs the suction with the right force. Smoke from the burner to adjust the range hood to the appropriate suction degree.

AIG also connects its 9000 series washing machines and dryer through an application to synchronize work steps and settings.
