Speaker 1: Right now, let's say good morning to the host of
Speaker 1: Home right here on KFI. It's the house whisper Dean
Speaker 1: Sharp Dean. We're going to go high tech with homes
Speaker 1: this week.
Speaker 2: We are, we are, We're going to be talking about
Speaker 2: the very best of the Consumer Electronics Show, which kind
Speaker 2: of for Southern California's kind of slipped by us this year.
Speaker 3: I know, normally it's a big thing.
Speaker 2: It oh, it's a huge thing. It's a huge thing,
Speaker 2: but you know, our attentions were focused on some other things,
Speaker 2: and yet the show happened, and it was a banner
Speaker 2: year in Vegas on January seventh through the tenth. And
Speaker 2: there are some interesting things that are starting to develop now.
Speaker 2: Every few years, you know, we check in with cees
Speaker 2: every year. Every few years, though, you know, you can
Speaker 2: tell that we've turned a corner and then there are
Speaker 2: filler years are kind of the result. And I think
Speaker 2: this is one of those turning the corner years because
Speaker 2: and this won't come as a big surprise to anybody
Speaker 2: because of Ai. Ai was the undisputed king of Cees
Speaker 2: this year. And we're gonna here is where we begin
Speaker 2: to see it literally soaking into everything around us AI,
Speaker 2: especially in our homes.
Speaker 1: Okay, so give us a couple of quick examples of things,
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna be talking about this all weekend.
Speaker 3: I would guess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, we're gonna talking about mainly on Sunday. We're
Speaker 2: gonna do calls tomorrow, but mainly on Sunday. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean things that we're familiar with getting just smarter
Speaker 2: things like home security. You know, there have been what
Speaker 2: we call biometric door locks on the market for several years,
Speaker 2: meaning that they read your I or you put your
Speaker 2: thumb on them and they unlock automatically without your key.
Speaker 2: Now there are palm reading door locks, probably the most
Speaker 2: convenient of all. You just hold your hand up a
Speaker 2: couple inches away from the screen pad and AI is
Speaker 2: capable of reading the veins in your palm in order
Speaker 2: to unlock your door easy it is. This is something
Speaker 2: that I think is really special. Home cameras. Security cameras
Speaker 2: been around for a long time now, and every year
Speaker 2: they get just better and easier to install. But now
Speaker 2: home cameras with intelligent AI commentary.
Speaker 3: What is that? So? What does that mean?
Speaker 2: So let's say you got a porch cam like a
Speaker 2: ring cam, something like that on your you know, your
Speaker 2: front porch, and you know you normally get an alert, Hey,
Speaker 2: somebody's at the somebody's at the front door. Now the
Speaker 2: alert sounds more like three individuals are conversing on the
Speaker 2: front porch.
Speaker 3: Oh, so it tells you what you're seeing.
Speaker 2: It tells you what you're seeing. And here is something
Speaker 2: that parents are gonna absolutely love. A crib or a
Speaker 2: nursery cam that's that's you know, poised over the crib
Speaker 2: at night, can now send you an alert saying something
Speaker 2: like your child's face might be obstructed by a blanket.
Speaker 3: Oh that would be good. Okay, so very cool.
Speaker 2: This is the kind of stuff that we're seeing, These
Speaker 2: these incredibly intelligent versions of things we've seen before.
Speaker 1: Okay, I would also like to go down your list
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at all the things going. I want
Speaker 1: to talk about that and that and that's which means
Speaker 1: we just have to listen to your show this weekend.
Speaker 1: But Rumba is getting a little bit of a reboot
Speaker 1: and going a little high tech.
Speaker 3: Everybody loves rumbas.
Speaker 2: Were and I say rumbas, I'm using it kind of
Speaker 2: like the word Kleenex. Robotic vacuums of every brand, shape
Speaker 2: and size were just all over the place at ces.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So like a Rumba, the new Rumba vacuum can
Speaker 2: also mop the floor with hot water, which is it's.
Speaker 3: So perfect for me because I hate mopping.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so there's one version that has a mop
Speaker 2: that's offset that it actually comes out of the side
Speaker 2: and can actually reach under the edge of like cabinet
Speaker 2: kicks and things like that. Just amazing. And of course
Speaker 2: these are AI smart robots now, and so they actually
Speaker 2: some of them have sensors and eyes that don't just
Speaker 2: blindly follow their pattern, but will navigate around a piece
Speaker 2: of furniture that's been moved, or notice that there's a
Speaker 2: piece of debris still that they've missed, and they'll go
Speaker 2: back and get it.
Speaker 3: It's a robotic arm. It'll go back and pick something up.
Speaker 2: The roboock robot vacuum has a robotic arm that comes
Speaker 2: out of the top. It looks like we're, you know,
Speaker 2: at the International Space Station. Using one of those arms.
Speaker 2: It'll pick up and dispose of objects off the floor,
Speaker 2: like there's a sock in the hallway that fell out
Speaker 2: of somebody's whatever. It'll grab it, take it to a
Speaker 2: predetermined location like a a hamper, drop it off, and
Speaker 2: then get right back to work.
Speaker 1: Okay, and Rumba's not only for inside anymore.
Speaker 2: Oh that's true. We've got robotic lawnmowers like crazy these days,
Speaker 2: mowing your lawn robotically. The thing that I think was
Speaker 2: just super impressive also was the new beat Bot robotic
Speaker 2: pool cleaner for people who have pools. Now we're talking
Speaker 2: about this device. It is about the size of a
Speaker 2: small kitchen trash. Can not hooked up any longer to
Speaker 2: the big hose and the filter and all of that.
Speaker 2: It's on its own. It's got its own platform and
Speaker 2: a ramp in which it can get down into the water.
Speaker 2: When it's done, it climbs up the ramp and sits
Speaker 2: recharges cleans itself for its next cycle. Okay. So it
Speaker 2: enters the pool and exits the pool by itself. It
Speaker 2: uses submarine technology to adjust its level in the pool.
Speaker 2: It takes on water to submerge, it expels the water
Speaker 2: in order to come back up and float. And because
Speaker 2: of its AI sensors twenty seven sensors and an AI
Speaker 2: based camera, it not only covers every square inch of
Speaker 2: the pool and the tile and the water surface. But
Speaker 2: it again, if it notices, oh I missed a leaf,
Speaker 2: it'll go back and pick up debris on the bottom.
Speaker 3: Of the pool.
Speaker 2: It is totally jetsous.
Speaker 3: I love that. I can't wait to listen to your
Speaker 3: show this week.
Speaker 1: Okay, so Home with Dean Sharp right here on KFI
Speaker 1: Saturday from six to eight am and then Sunday from
Speaker 1: nine to two talking super sick tech gadgets from your
Speaker 1: home or for your home that you picked up at CES.
Speaker 3: I love this, Dean Sharp, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Thanks Am
