Insulation technology has changed little in 50 years.

It features new SlimTech insulation developed by Whirlpool Corporation, a revolutionary technology in insulation that will soon be available in other appliances in your home.
Artificial intelligence is an important theme at this year’s CES, and Samsung’s Ballie has been loved by people. Ballie is a home robot powered by artificial intelligence, a voice-controlled assistant with a built-in projector, just like a mobile smart display. It can follow you and respond to your commands, including showing you messages on a projection screen; controlling your smart lights, locks, and robot vacuums; and making hands-free phone calls for you.
You may be familiar with robot vacuums that sweep and mop, but the Matic is a whole new breed of robot vacuum. With more brains than brawn, it can navigate like a self-driving car instead of a vacuum cleaner, use gesture recognition to clean wherever you point it, and soon automatically proactively seek out and clean dirty areas of your home.
