Created a washing machine that can talk to a person
At IFA 2017, the new washing machine Сandy Bianca was presented. The company Candy has always been distinguished by an innovative approach to the manufactured equipment; their specialists at one time developed the first semi-automatic model. Now developers Candy presented a fundamentally updated model, significantly different from all previous ones.
The main feature of the washing machine is its ability not only to recognize human speech and competently execute commands, but also to give feedback. That is, respond to the user. This functionality is the result of collaboration with Google, whose virtual assistant Google Assistant was configured to work with the machine. This is a fundamentally new approach to the creation of a washing machine, not previously used.
The user communicates with the machine via smartphone through a specially created application Easy-Fix Candy, capable of working with both the Android OS and iOS. After starting the application, you can start setting tasks to the device by pronouncing them out loud or typing on the keyboard. The machine is able to interpret rather complex combinations of words. For example, you can ask her to wash clothes in such a way that it is easier to iron.
Zoom technology makes it possible to wash clothes from any type of fabric in less than an hour. This saves a lot of time and allows you not to worry about the fact that clothes can be damaged, since a variety of programs allows you to wash absolutely any items.
To date, the washing machine can already "communicate" in Italian and English, in the near future, the authors intend to teach her new languages. The start of sales of the washing machine is scheduled for September. Approximate retail price will be about 25 000 rubles.
