How does the AI object recognition actually work in practice?

The robot uses an AI DNN model combined with a camera to identify various objects including humans, pets (dogs and cats) and hard-to-see items. It provides generic visual indicators rather than identifying specific individuals. The system can classify different spaces like kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms, adapting its cleaning behaviour accordingly. However, recognition accuracy can be affected by object shape and environmental conditions.

What exactly happens during the Clean Station Steam+ process?

The Clean Station performs a comprehensive three-stage mop maintenance cycle. First, it washes the mop pads at 50-60°C using a steam and water mixture. Then it sanitises the mops with 100°C steam to eliminate bacteria and germs. Finally, it dries the mops using 50-60°C hot air. The station also empties the dust bag, refills the water tank and recharges the robot's battery automatically.

Can I control which areas the robot cleans and avoids?

Yes, the SmartThings app provides detailed mapping and zone control features. You can set no-go zones to protect furniture or avoid certain rooms, create virtual walls to restrict access to parts of rooms and designate specific areas for mopping or to keep dry. The app displays your home's map, allowing precise selection of cleaning and restricted areas.

How long does the battery last and what's the cleaning coverage?

The lithium-ion battery provides up to 3 hours of runtime on a single charge. The actual cleaning time depends on the selected mode, floor type and home layout. The robot automatically returns to the Clean Station when the battery runs low, where it recharges automatically. The 2-litre dust capacity reduces the frequency of manual emptying.

What cleaning modes are available and when should I use each?

Four cleaning modes are available through the SmartThings app. Vacuum and Mop Together mode provides quick simultaneous cleaning for regular maintenance. Mopping after Vacuuming mode offers thorough cleaning by removing debris first, then mopping for hygiene. Vacuum-only mode focuses on dust and debris removal, whilst Mop-only mode targets stains and sticky residues on hard floors.

How does the Hair Grinder feature prevent brush tangling?

The high-efficiency brush uses innovative Hair Grinder technology that collects hair in the centre of the brush, then cuts it finely to prevent tangling and blockages. This system maintains consistent suction performance and reduces maintenance requirements. The brush is completely detachable, making it easy to remove any remaining hair or debris during routine cleaning.

What are the SmartThings app requirements and features?

The SmartThings app requires an Android or iOS device with Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account. The app provides complete control over cleaning modes, scheduling, zone restrictions and virtual walls. You can monitor cleaning progress, receive notifications and access detailed cleaning maps. The app also enables firmware updates and integration with other Samsung smart home devices.

How effective is the voice control with Samsung Bixby?

Samsung Bixby voice control works through smartphones, smartwatches, or other compatible devices. You can schedule cleaning sessions, start or stop cleaning, instruct specific cleaning locations, empty the dustbin and locate the vacuum's position using voice commands. The system responds to natural language commands and integrates with Samsung's broader smart home ecosystem for seamless control.
