LG Electronics (LG) will launch its newest smart air solutions for the home at CES 2018. The LG PuriCare air purifier features fine dust sensor, while the LG DUALCOOL ThinQ Stand Inverter air conditioner features voice recognition and DeepThinQ technology.
With an air monitoring sensor, the LG PuriCare air purifier automatically removes fine dust particles to maintain a comfortable and clean environment. Even when LG PuriCare is in standby mode, it can still monitor air quality and can power on when filtering is required. With its distinctive cylindrical design, PuriCare boasts advanced air filtration technology with LG’s 360° Total Care Filter System. And thanks to its powerful Clean Booster feature, LG PuriCare is able to better distribute clean air throughout the room while delivering gentle airflow at the base.
Also debuting at CES 2018, the LG DUALCOOL ThinQ Stand Inverter Air Conditioner is equipped with voice technology allowing homeowners to control their indoor temperature with a single phrase. The LG Dual Inverter Compressor minimizes the speed of the compressor, providing high energy efficiency and lower noise levels.
The air conditioner also employs LG’s DeepThinQ AI technology to direct more airflow in the direction of individuals in the room using spatial recognition. In addition to recognizing the presence of people in the room, the Intelligent Human Movement Sensor also adjusts the strength of the air flow depending on the proximity of the person or people to the unit.
By analyzing the daily behavioral patterns of the residents, the ThinQ air conditioner learns what parts of the house require cooling at specific times of the day, maintaining optimal temperatures and saving energy.
“Artificial intelligence is continuing to evolve and LG is committed to using this technology to improve consumers’ quality of life, especially when it comes to air care,” said David VanderWaal, vice president of marketing for LG Electronics USA.
LG’s AI effort
LG has announced the creation of the ThinQ brand to identify its 2018 home appliances, consumer electronics and services that utilize artificial intelligence. LG ThinQ products and services will all have the ability to employ deep learning and communicate with one another.
LG first laid the foundation for its AI efforts at CES 2017 when it announced DeepThinQ, followed by the initiative to include Wi-Fi in its entire line of premium appliances launched this year. LG opened the Artificial Intelligence Lab in Seoul in June to tie together all its diverse AI research in technologies that recognize, deduce and learn from voice, video and sensors.
LG’s AI Lab has contributed to the development of the world’s first space-learning air conditioner as well as intelligent refrigerators, washing machines and robot vacuum cleaners.
