Inside home of the future – including AI baby crib that watches your child, a robot lawnmower and a smart armchair
SMART homes have gotten smarter in ways previously unforeseen, and CES 2023 has shown four unique ways technology is enhancing every day life.
AI has improved daily living, and several companies have innovated activites without even requiring you to leave your home.
Whether you need an armchair that really gets you, or a bassinette that really gets your baby, these new CES premiere devices powered by AI make life almost too easy.
ROBO BABY
BebeLucy looks like any other bassinette, but its looks are quite deceiving.
As baby lay in the crib, BebeLucy can tell their stress levels and if they’ve taken a bowel movement or not, so parents don’t have to get up and check for a soiled diaper.
Using Sleep technology and AI Bio Signal Processing, the bassinette knows baby’s body temperature, heartrate, and respiratory rate.
This intelligent piece of baby furniture also works with Amazon’s AWS sytem and checks for the ambient room temperature, humidity levels, and air quality, chatting with indoor appliances like air purifiers and conditioners to maintain baby’s ideal environment
A creation from Emma Healthcare, CEO Daniel Sohn, described their company to The Sun as one focused on “biomedical engineering.”
Sleepless nights over preventable tweaks to a baby’s environment are a thing of the past.
WHERE THE GRASS IS GREENER
Like vacuuming, mowing the lawn is one of those chores accepted as a given for those lucky enough to enjoy lively grass around the entrance of their home.
The engineers at Heisenberg Robotics thought otherwise, and that is why they created the LawnMeister, an AI lawnmower.
Heisenberg’s Ethan Qian explained the mower uses company-developed technology similar to that of Tesla to recognize objects and navigate accordingly, only within the boundaries that the owner sets.
While they started as engineers focused on self-driving software, “We wanted to bring that technology…to a smart home, or a smart garden and patio scenario,” Qian said, then walking over to a display that showed the recognition software in action.
Plants, people, and other objects in the screen’s moving image were labeled.
“So this is, really the same thing that Tesla’s using..they just have…a lot more data than we do at this point,” he said of the mighty software developed by the small team, a product of “algorithms, machine learning, and deep learning.”
LawnMeisters will begin sale a few months into 2023, retailing around $1,500.
Qian predicts that, similar to smart vacuums, theirs and other smart mowers will be seen in about a quarter of homes beginning 2025.
AI AQUATICS
Speaking of mindless chores a robot could do, cleaning a pool is the problem that China-based company Lydsto set out to solve.
At their CES booth, the tiny, cute robot moved along the bottom of a very small pool, raised so that passersby could see it working its magic.
Almost like an insect crawling up a window, it worked its way up the glass, showing off how it cleans the walls of the pool.
“It’s wireless, and it (automatically) climbs the wall,” Yutung Chiu, a Vegas local working with the company and translating on behalf of their international members said to The Sun.
As is standard for many smart cleaning devices, it sits on a charging dock when not in use, and, “when it’s low power” Chiu said “it will come back out.”
Lydsto hopes to link up with a wholeseller to get their products in the hands of eager customers, but right now it is set to sell straight to consumer for $1,049 beginning March 2023.
REVAMPING RELAXATION
Sitting in an armchair may not be a process homedwellers thought could be more complex, but OSIM is urging them to think again.
Their AI well-being chair models, called the ULove and the UDream are designed to keep the lounger in mind.
“The bio sensor basically gives you your personal body tension score and measures your heart rate,” company representative Andrea Kartsakalis said to The Sun.
“This is also dependent on your age, your weight, your height, so it really is personalized to everyone that’s in the chair.
The goal of the ULove and the UDream wellness chairs is to keep you out of the red via the use of AI, and with elaborate massage, heating, and even audio technology, it does its best to get its owner back to the most relaxed state possible.
At CES, The Sun was even able to try one of the ULove chairs, and can confirm that it is a maximally relaxing experience.
