Every day, Anicet Mbida makes us discover an innovation that could well change the way we consume.
This Tuesday, he is interested in inventions for home appliances with voice recognition that are presented at CES in Las Vegas.
The innovation of the day.
Still live from CES, the international electronics fair which began on Monday on the Internet.
We talked about the innovations in television and multimedia.
Today, we are talking about household appliances, with the arrival of a robot butler capable of setting the table on his own.
And not just the table.
He can also clear, put the plates in the dishwasher, put away clothes that are lying around and even serve you a drink.
A real robot butler as we have dreamed of for years.
Unfortunately, for now, this is just a technological demonstration.
There is no marketing date yet.
But Samsung, which presented it yesterday, is already starting to decline some of its technologies such as object recognition.
Its next autonomous vacuum cleaners will be able to warn you if they come across a jewel lying around (rather than vacuuming it).
They can also avoid going over sauce or dog poop so as not to spread it everywhere.
We will finally have real smart vacuum cleaners.
Another trend of the show: it is the voice recognition integrated into more and more household appliances.
Yes, after the speakers and the lamps, you can now talk to your fridge.
And ask him, for example, if there are any yoghurts left.
You can also command your oven by voice and ask it to open the door when your arms are loaded.
Or just tell it to "heat up a pizza" rather than juggling the thermostat and cooking modes.
It is a technology that is also arriving in the bathroom, since you can say to your bathtub "let me run a bath at 35 ° and add foam".
All of this is obviously very expensive.
This is, once again, proof that laziness has always been the driving force behind innovation.
