Dyson Expands AI and Vision Systems Across New Appliance Portfolio

Dyson is extending artificial intelligence, vision systems and sensor-based automation across its appliance portfolio, introducing a new robot cleaner family alongside its first oral-care device and updated air-treatment and beauty products.

At its Dyson Unveiled event in Berlin on Thursday, Chief Engineer Jake Dyson said the company is shifting its focus from mechanical performance alone toward products that can interpret and respond to data about their surroundings.

“Now Dyson is moving beyond hardware into an era of intelligent appliances that can see, think and respond,” he said. “We will use AI, vision systems and machine learning across products for oral care, hair and the home so that they can understand the environments in which they operate.”

Dyson Korea highlighted 10 products around the event, though not all were first introduced in Berlin. CameraJet was unveiled separately in Paris on Tuesday and launched in Korea the same day, while the w1 PencilWash is an upgraded version of a wet floor cleaner introduced earlier this year.

The most substantial new lineup is Nurovi, a three-model robot cleaner range built around automated sensing and different cleaning mechanisms.

The r2 Nurovi Wash+Dry uses a triangular rotating mop designed to reach closer to edges and corners, as well as a piezo sensor that measures dust particles in real time and adjusts suction automatically. Its docking station washes and dries the mop after cleaning.

The r3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub UV adds an AI-based stain-detection system using vision, UV light and green illumination. Dyson says the robot can identify stained areas and repeatedly clean them until the stain is removed. The model delivers 30,000 pascals of suction, which the company says is 65 percent more than its previous robot cleaner.

The r1 Nurovi Dry, meanwhile, focuses on vacuuming and uses the same Twin-capture system as the r2 to separate larger debris from fine dust.

Dyson is applying a similar emphasis on machine vision to CameraJet, its first oral-care system. The device combines an electric toothbrush and liquid jet with a 100,000-pixel macro camera that analyzes 28 images per second.

According to Dyson, the machine-learning system was trained on 470,000 dental images to identify gaps between teeth and help direct cleaning. The company says 661 engineers worked on the product over six years.

CameraJet supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and works with the MyDyson app for live viewing, guided cleaning and personalized settings. Dyson says the camera is activated only during live-view or automatic jet functions and that images are not stored on the device or in the cloud.

In Korea, CameraJet is priced at 749,000 won ($550).

Beyond robotics and oral care, Dyson expanded its HushJet air-treatment range with three models and added two hair-styling devices. The Airsmooth is the company's first hot-air styling brush, while the Corrale Cool Shine straightener adds a cooling system designed to lower hair temperature after styling.

In Korea, the r2 Nurovi is due to launch on Monday, followed by Airsmooth a day later. Dyson Korea's current local rollout list covers nine products, with the r1 not among those specified for release.
